NAV Drone Web: User and Profile Management

Add/Edit Users

As an operator, you can invite various crew members, including drone pilots, observers, and payload specialists, using email invitations. You can then assign drone operations to any of these crew members. Your account provides an overview of all linked users, and each user's access is determined by their role. Two predefined roles are operator user and operator admin, each with specific access rights, subject to configuration.

A crew member can be affiliated with multiple drone operators and can choose which operator they wish to execute a drone operation for via their profile. If you invite other operators, you'll see their operations for you, but not those they conduct for others. If other operators invite you, you'll only view operations specific to that invitation, excluding operations they do for other operators.

Add User

To add a user:

  1. Click Users in the left side bar.
  2. Click Invite user
  3. Complete all fields and click the Save button to complete.

The newly added user is listed in the user table with the status Requested. After refreshing the screen, the status changes to Pending. When an invited user is already registered on the NAV Drone platform, they will receive an automated email in their preferred language. If the user is not registered, they will receive a multilingual email, with languages configured based on the platform settings. If the new user accepts the invitation, they will be redirected to create and activate an account if needed, or they will be redirected to their active account.

Edit/Delete Users

To edit/delete a user:

  1. Click the Dots menu next to the applicable user and select Edit or Delete. Clicking Delete removes the user from the list. When editing you can switch the role of active users between Admin and User. Unlike normal users, an Admin can invite other users to join the operator’s crew.
  2. Click Save to complete the action.

Edit User and Operator Profiles

Users can make changes to their user-preference settings and personal information. Users with admin access to operator accounts are also able to make changes to certain elements of an operator account.

Making Changes to the User Profile

To update the User Profile:

  1. Click the active Operator name at the top of the left sidebar to activate the tools menu.
  2. Click User settings; the User settings page is opened, displaying the user’s personal information as shown below. Click the Edit button to modify any of the personal information (Personal details, mobile number, address, security settings, and password). Ensure you Save your changes.

Changing Account Multi Factor Authentication

To increase account security, you can activate Multi factor authentication. When active, NAV Drone will send you an SMS verification code or One Time Password (OTP) from your Authenticator app to your mobile device when you try to log into your account. By default, MFA is activated whenever a new account is created.

Multi Factor Authentication

A verified mobile number is required to make use of the Multi factor authentication service.

To activate/disable Multi factor authentication:

  1. From the User Settings page, click the Personal info tab.
  2. Check if a verified mobile number is listed in your profile.
  3. In the Security section, click the Edit  button and select one of the options shown below.
  4. Click Save to save your changes.

Verification Code

When entering your mobile number, click Send verification code to have a SMS with a verification code sent to your mobile phone. After receiving the code, enter it when prompted to verify your mobile number. A verified mobile number is required for planning and performing drone operations in controlled airspace.

Deleting an Account

Your account will first be deactivated and will only be completely deleted after the legal retention period of 30 days. During this time, you are still able to reactivate it simply by logging in; the system will send a re-activation to your email. Ensure you check your spam folder if you don’t find the reactivation email.

To delete your account:

  1. Click the active Operator name > User Settings to bring up the Personal Info page.
  2. Click the Delete account link shown below.

Delete Account

If you request your account be deleted but subsequently re-activate it during the 30-day retention period:

  • Crew members that were originally linked to your Operator account at the time of deletion will not longer be linked to your account; you will need to re-invite these users by sending out invitations from the Users > Invite button.
  • Any authorization requests that were active when the account was deleted will be cancelled; you will need to re-submit them if needed.

Changing User Settings

  1. From the User settings page, click the Settings tab.
  2. Click Edit button next to the relevant section to specify your preferences. Ensure you Save your changes for each section.

Login History

The Login history tab displays details about each login session across the web and mobile applications.  

Audit Records

The Audit records displays changes to certain aspects of your profile.

Making Change to the Operator Profile

Operator account information can be changed by certain users with Admin permissions to the operator account. 

  1. Click the active Operator name at the top of the left sidebar.
  2. Click the Operator settings button to go to the Operator settings screen.
  3. Click the Edit button next to the relevant section to specify your preferences. Ensure you Save your changes for each section.

Switch Operator Account

If you have access to other operators, you can switch between the different accounts.

Click on the active Operator name at the top of the left sidebar, then click on Switch operator and select the operator account you want to start using.
