General users need to be granted “Zone Configuration Privileges” in order to create and edit new Hot
Zones in VeriTracks™.
The “Incident Configuration Privileges” rights allow users to enter Crime Incident information. This
feature is only used for smaller agencies that do not already have an RMS system for Incident
reporting. In addition to selecting this privilege, the administrator for VeriTracks™ will have to grant
access to the agency ORI.
The “User Maintenance Privileges” are reserved for users who will create and modify user accounts.
Each agency must decide who should have the rights to administer users.
The rest of the information is optional for the Administrator. It is recommended to have users log-in
to VeriTracks™ and navigate to Preferences to change their own password, input their own phone
number and email address, and to select the types of notifications they wish to receive. Users can
also access their map preferences from here to change their map layers.
