Guide for Resource 9: Add Restrictions to User Access
Introduction
This video provides detailed instructions on how a property administrator would add restrictions to user access via the TrueCloud Connect dashboard. TrueCloud Connect™ is CellGate’s proprietary back-end architecture that manages all data flow between product hardware, the internet, cellular networks, landline phones, smartphone apps, and the administrative web portal. Adding restrictions to user access ensures that each user has the appropriate level of access and that security protocols are maintained.
