Overview and management of FD App account levels 

To support multiple users per farm, the login system has been redesigned. Farms and users are now separate entities: a farm represents the physical unit, while users (farmers and employees) are linked to it.


Introduction to the user levels

The new user system is split into two parts where we see users and the farm as different instances.

Farm Diagram for App 

The farm as an entity

The farm is where robots and other devices like Base Stations and Field Setup Tools are assigned. Users are granted permission to access the equipment owned by the farm based on their roles.

The users

People will now be users on the farm and can be assigned different roles on the farm depending on what their responsibilities are. It is now also possible to invite people outside your farm to see your robots. You can just add them with a Viewer account, then they can see all data but not change anything on your robots.

User types

The following user types are expected to be used on a farm:

  • Admin
    The farmer / owner or general manager of the farm. It could also be the person in charge of correspondence with the FarmDroid dealer on the farm. The admin is not necessarily the person operating the FarmDroid on a daily basis but can be an administrative person.
    The admin has the right to assign new users to access the farm account and thereby the right to operate the FarmDroid. The ”Admin” has full rights to operate the robot like the “Operator”.
  • Operator
    The Operator has almost the same rights as the Admin. The only difference is that the Operator cannot create and delete users on the farm account.
    This is the user type intended for all hired hands on the farm. Holders of this account type have all abilities to operate, start and stop any FarmDroid on the farm from the app.
  • Viewer
    The Viewer can see all data on the app but cannot start and stop the robot from the app, or make any other changes to the robot from the app.
    This user type is intended for an advisor that needs to see how the FarmDroid is operating.
  • Data manager
    This user type is basically a viewer. They cannot change any parameters on a robot or start or stop it. But they can set up any robot on the farm to the Agrirouter interface – Given the farm has the right service agreements to run the Agrirouter interface.
    This user type is intended for advisors and others who have the need to extract data from the robots through the Agrirouter interface to their administrative system.

This screen is only available for admin users. It is divided into three tabs:

However, the user type "Data Manager" has full access to the Agrirouter tab including changing all parameters in that tab.

  • Users:

Here you can set up employees on the farm and assign their roles. Here it is recommended that employees are assigned the role of “Operator”.

Adding a new user is done by clicking the “invite user” in the top-right corner of the screen. Enter the employee’s email address and assign the intended role. When a user is invited, they will receive an email prompting them to either create a FarmDroid App account or, if they already have an account, accept the invitation to join your farm in the assigned role. Once the user has completed either step, they will see the farm’s robots when they log in to the FarmDroid App.

If you want to remove an existing user or change their roles you select either the “trash can” or the “pencil” in the “Action” column.

  • Agrirouter:

In the Agrirouter tab you administer all data transfer from the robots to Agrirouter.
