Before You Install Helm CONNECT

There are a few things you should have ready before installing Helm CONNECT.

Decide How the Crew Will Sign On

There are two ways for your crew to log in to an installation of Helm CONNECT:

• Shared sign on: You can assign a password to the asset and require all crew members to sign on with the asset password. With this option, users will only be able to access the features that are included in the asset's role.
• Multi-user sign on: You can allow each crew member to sign on with their own email and password. With this option, each user will only be able to access any features that are included in both their own user role and the asset's role. This could mean that some users will be able to access more features when logged in from shore than they can when logged in to an installation.

Set Up Your Asset Roles

When you configure an installation, you'll be asked to select a role for your asset. This will control which features users can access when logged in to the installation. For more about setting up roles, check out this article.
