Create a New Operator Record

Create a new Spectrum user record.

If you want to make use of an existing user record to create a new user record, see Copy User Security.
  1. Navigate to Site Map > System Administration > Security > Operator Maintenance.
  2. Select New.
    The New Operator window appears.
  3. Select a valid User type for the Operator.
  4. In the Operator code field, choose one:
    • To accept the next default code from the Enterprise Installation screen, press Enter.
    • Enter any alphanumeric code of up to three characters by which other users in the system can identify this user.
  5. In the Logon ID field, enter any alphanumeric code of at least three characters the operator will need to type when logging in.
  6. Enter a temporary Password of at least three characters.
    Note: When the new user signs in to Spectrum for the first time, they will be prompted to set up their own Trimble ID and choose their own password.
  7. In the Name field, enter the user's name.
  8. In the E-Mail field, enter the user's email address.
  9. To copy operator information from an existing operator, select the Copy from logon drop-down menu and make a selection.
    Note: This method for creating a new operator exactly replicates the setup of the existing operator, making it easy to set up a new user from another operator.
  10. Select OK to save.
  11. Provide the Logon ID and temporary password to the user for logging in to Spectrum for the first time.
What happens next:
  • If a new Spectrum user already has Trimble ID credentials, they should use them to log in.
  • Each new Spectrum user that doesn't already have a Trimble ID is prompted to create one immediately after entering their Logon ID and temporary password. Thereafter, they won't use their Spectrum Logon ID and password.
    Note: Every user's Trimble ID must be unique.
