Tecell’s Charge Point Operator software manages user access control through role-based permissions and zone-specific settings. Administrators define access levels for different user groups, such as employees, guests, or fleet drivers, and assign them to specific charging zones. The system enforces these rules at the point of use, ensuring only authorized users can initiate or manage charging sessions in designated areas.
How access control works in practice
In real-world deployments, administrators create zones based on physical location, organizational structure, or usage type. For example, a commercial building might have separate zones for employee parking, visitor areas, and reserved fleet spaces. Each zone can have its own set of allowed users, time restrictions, and pricing policies. Tecell’s platform allows fine-grained control over who can start a session, how long they can charge, and what payment methods are accepted.
Access is validated at the charging point using credentials like RFID cards, mobile apps, or account-based authentication. The system logs all access attempts and session data, providing audit trails for compliance and security purposes. This approach ensures that even if one user gains access to a charging station, they cannot bypass zone restrictions to access other areas.
What this means for fleet operators
Fleet operators benefit from zone-based access control by managing multiple vehicles and drivers efficiently. They can assign specific zones to different vehicle types or driver groups, ensuring that only authorized personnel can charge company vehicles in designated areas. This prevents unauthorized use and helps track charging costs per vehicle or driver.
For example, a logistics company might set up zones for different depots or shifts, with access limited to drivers assigned to those areas. The system also supports time-based restrictions, so fleet drivers can only charge during certain hours or days, aligning with operational schedules.
This level of control is especially valuable in shared or multi-tenant environments where multiple organizations use the same charging infrastructure. Tecell’s software ensures that each group’s access remains isolated, maintaining security and operational clarity.
