Overview

In Orbit, carriers are organised in a hierarchical structure consisting of Carriers (companies), CarrierTeams (organisational units), and CarrierUsers (individual users). This structure enables efficient organisation and precise control over access rights and operational capabilities.

Carriers

A Carrier represents a company that provides vehicles and drivers to transport goods from one place to another. Carriers are the top-level entity and contain core company information such as:

• Company name and legal information (tax ID, VAT ID)
• Primary business address
• etc.

CarrierTeams

CarrierTeams are organisational units within a Carrier entity. Teams help organise users and manage access within the Carrier's organisation. Common uses for teams include:

• Regional divisions
• Dispatch teams
• Administrative groups

CarrierUsers

CarrierUsers are individual users who belong to a Carrier organisation and can be assigned to specific CarrierTeams. It's important to note that drivers are not a separate user type but rather CarrierUsers with a specific role assignment. Each user has:

• Personal information (name, contact details)
• Individual access rights and permissions
• Specific roles defining their capabilities within the system
• Personal notification preferences
