You do not have access to this feature. Please contact your Administrator. When you encounter this error, this means that the Technician license has not been assigned to the employee.   ![](https://help.fleetsquared.com/galleryDocuments/edbsnb15a826a688daf01207a9f846f9d5e3dd1622980a7bc8b810f3a0ef55339976713f4848f2143a4b5c1d330043fef4c17?inline=true)   To assign the Technician license go to **Administration** >** User Accounts **> **Employee Manager**   Once you have found the employee that is experiencing this error go to the **Security **tab and click **Add Software**   ![](https://help.fleetsquared.com/galleryDocuments/edbsn252e54c4e90713ac780912736f10a714a2e5f3dc514aa7cf23f3e6cf5ff2c1d304f568c448b258f39b1f8c8a190c0a2d?inline=true)    Click on the **TechnicianEMDECS** license then click **Add**.   ![](https://help.fleetsquared.com/galleryDocuments/edbsnf253f69b1bfceb84e01eda1befad89187e25b116bc0c0c0c690535132f04c7e4b8342fcc0c20217d287905c37f854f0b?inline=true)   Now you can see under the** Software** section, the Technician license is assigned to this Employee.   ![](https://help.fleetsquared.com/galleryDocuments/edbsn086dc864fdec4f3b84ae7e2826f33396ee7b913f6ce3b7ce931df1e791779bee0e57a21e640c73bbbb44c084d8730d7b?inline=true)   If you do not have sufficient licenses available you will need to purchase additional licenses.    **Note: Software is what controls the Users access in the system, and should only be assigned as needed.  Some are unlimited, and some are issued by User. If you find you require any additional licenses, please contact the CX Team by submitting a ticket to [help@brightorder.com](mailto:help@brightorder.com) or giving us a call at 1-877-848-8817.** **Admin / Manager License: $125.00 USD per month ($165.00 CAD)** **Technician License: $69.00 USD per month ($90.00 CAD)**   ![](https://help.fleetsquared.com/galleryDocuments/edbsn252e54c4e90713ac780912736f10a7143ba2c469d8b078b82f8e6affcdb52c72cd33900dc0a0e830d51a869498a9f06b?inline=true)   ### 2. Employee does not exist - This error can appear if the **Employee Badge ID** is inputted incorrectly, or if the Employee profile was never created.  - To set up a new technician in EMDECS please refer to this article **[Service Manager - How to add a Technician/setup a new Technician](https://help.emdecs.com/portal/en/kb/articles/service-manager-how-to-add-a-technician-setup-a-new-technician)** - - This error can also appear if the **Employee Badge ID** starts with a letter "**E**". - To fix this simply put another "**E**" before the **Employee Badge ID** when typing in the ID in the **Tech RO** - The reason why the system is not accepting the badge ID "EFELIX" is due to the E at the start of the ID. The system reads/translates badge IDs with an E before the ID. For example, if you enter the badge ID: RUSTY the system reads that as E-RUSTY. Similarly if you put in EFELIX, the system reads that as E-FELIX, so the system is looking for the employee with the ID of FELIX, however it will not find it due to there being no employee with the ID of FELIX. So inputting EEFELIX into the Tech RO will allow the user to sign in successfully - Another option is to remove the E from the front of the ID and/or change the ID entirely. ![](https://help.fleetsquared.com/galleryDocuments/edbsnae42490890e003f31965f84e096b0c8f5c62671fc1be2e3c3bfde6d53cb59c034f2800ab146c5437771e0955fd75e9bd?inline=true)   #### Edit an Employee Badge ID To edit an **Employee Badge ID** go to **Administration** >** User Accounts **> **Employee Manager**   Find the employee profile and under the** Details** Tab click the **Edit** button.   You can edit the **Employee Number** field then click **Save/Exit.**   ![](https://help.fleetsquared.com/galleryDocuments/edbsn416beb8b5ae6bf184c657be246de7b9a847668e93b28fcff96f231cee4f439293d6d8d7c0e54517490a9f4071c24433f?inline=true)   ### 3. Employee is not setup for employee type MECHANIC To fix this error you need to assign the **Type** as **Mechanic** to the employee.   ![](https://help.fleetsquared.com/galleryDocuments/edbsna157ab8dc43ee8ed5ec9cc6a3186eec31307f0d68faa0866681831a1293c45f9b6493cb51424558dd777b65feff3d122?inline=true)   Go to **Administration**> **User Accounts** > **Employee Manager**   Look for the employee getting the error and go into the **Types **tab and click on **+ Add Type**    ![](https://help.fleetsquared.com/galleryDocuments/edbsn102038998dd2b80a4417f049e4b911a857202436e8271f26c1eb71b0db92880f105646e294329d6e311bd0b91091d8af?inline=true)   Set the **Effective Date**, choose **Mechanic **as the **Type**, then click **Add. **Now the Tech should be able to login successfully   ![](https://help.fleetsquared.com/galleryDocuments/edbsn45764ec7b38ed887e126b74aa8f5e0a8b927dd2f64431d3040bd70cda310468e7982e947423e7329ef83238eb544ae72?inline=true) ### 4. Repair location is not assigned to employee  If a technician cannot access a repair location the location(s) need to be assigned to the employee and user profiles. **Note: Repair Locations must be added to both the User profile and the Employee profile for the technician to have access to multiple locations** 1.       The **default repair location** must also be assigned to all employees which need access to multiple locations ![](https://help.fleetsquared.com/galleryDocuments/edbsna608a7ea02b5358d683a8e86433691c8b7cd3ff5ceb2f6fe7bfb978009d7c02d7089e709f996aafb1e8f0e40d10bf90e?inline=true)   #### Assign Repair Locations to Employees To assign locations to Employees go to to **Administration**> **User Accounts** > **Employee Manager**   Search for the Employee, click on the **Locations** tab then click** + Add Location.**   ![](https://help.fleetsquared.com/galleryDocuments/edbsn16f5579c97ac0c1e2e6d973c64623f198644bf460b39405cd878615d95077d2e95bef3a56d27dc1774ec0355e507d788?inline=true)   Select the **Location** and choose a **From Date **and **To Date**.
