Account and Users

Invite dealership staff, assign admin, technician, and support roles, and remove access when someone leaves.

Dealer admin

Dealership admins control who can sign in to your GTRV Dealer account and what each person can do. This page covers inviting teammates, choosing the right role, and revoking access safely.

Roles you assign

The portal uses three operational roles for dealership staff. Assign by job function, not job title alone.

RoleWho typically gets itPrimary work in the portal
AdminOwner, general manager, IT leadFull dealership configuration, user management, tier-sensitive actions, network setup (for Distributor).
TechnicianShop floor, RMA benchService Orders, Warranty Claims, checklists, ticket assignment as Technician.
SupportFront desk, customer careSupport TicketsNew Ticket, conversation, triage, assigning Technician on tickets.

Admins should keep at least two people with admin access so the account is not locked out if one person leaves.

Open user management

  1. Open Settings

    In the sidebar footer, choose Settings (Manage your dealership profile and preferences) or View Profile from the account menu.

  2. Go to Users

    Open the Users (or Users & Permissions) section for the active dealership account.

  3. Review the member list

    The table lists everyone linked to this dealership: name, email, role, and status. Filter or search when the team grows beyond a handful of users.

Invite a new teammate

  1. Start the invite

    Click Invite member (or Add New User). A drawer opens for the new account member.

  2. Enter identity fields

    Provide Full Name, Email Address, and Phone Number with country code. Email is the sign-in identifier across all GTEEX portals.

  3. Choose a role

    Select Admin, Technician, or Support. You can promote or demote later except where the portal blocks removing the last admin.

  4. Send the invite

    Use Send Invite or Generate Password so the teammate receives credentials. They will complete first sign-in and may see Select your account if they belong to multiple dealerships.

Change roles or remove access

Edit a role

  1. Find the user in the member list.
  2. Open row actions → Edit or Change role.
  3. Pick the new role and save.

Role changes apply on the next request; ask the user to refresh if they still see disabled actions.

Remove a member

  1. Open row actions → Remove or Delete member.
  2. Confirm in the modal — removal cannot be undone from the UI.

Effects of removal:

  • The user loses sign-in access to this dealership only; other linked accounts are unchanged.
  • Open Tickets and Service Orders keep historical attribution (timeline still shows their name).
  • Technician assignments on open tickets should be reassigned before removal when possible.

What each role cannot do

Use this checklist when auditing permissions:

  • Technician — should not manage billing, network hierarchy, or user invites.
  • Support — should not edit ERP diagnosis on service orders unless cross-trained.
  • Admin — can do all of the above; restrict admin count to people who need it.

Detailed API enforcement uses dealership manager and technician enums on the backend; see Dealer roles.

Multi-account staff

Regional leads often appear on more than one dealership card in Switch Account:

  • Invite the same email to each dealership with the role appropriate per account (admin at HQ, support at a branch, etc.).
  • Each account has its own member list — removing someone from Branch A does not remove them from Branch B.

After invites go out, point teammates to their own getting-started paths:
