Rhino Aviation Preflight

Admin Guide

Admin Home

Admins can change their own password, stored weight, default aircraft, color theme, and output date format from the Admin home page.
The Preferences card stores your weight, default aircraft, separate single-leg and multi-leg favorite form templates, VFR and IFR personal flight minima, theme, and output date format.
VFR and IFR Personal Mins are independent and optional. Each set may contain any combination of minimum ceiling, minimum visibility, maximum wind speed, maximum crosswind component, and maximum gust factor.
On the Flight page, the selected VFR or IFR flight type determines which minima set applies. An available weather value is shown in red only when it is beyond a configured limit in that set. If that set is entirely blank, no personal-minimum coloring is applied.
The most recently generated template for the same route mode in this browser takes precedence while it remains available. Otherwise, form generation uses the single-leg or multi-leg favorite, then the first available template.
If either favorite template is deleted, disabled, or no longer visible to you, the Dashboard identifies the affected route mode and links back to Preferences.
The theme chooser previews immediately. Save Config stores the selected theme and output date format as per-user preferences.
The subpage buttons at the top lead to Users, Roles, Fuels, Notices, and Config.

Create new users with an initial role and password.
Edit login name, display name, weight, role, and notes.
Set a new password for a selected user.
Lock or unlock a user account.
Deactivate or reactivate a user.
Saving individual permissions detaches that user from role-based permission inheritance.

Create permission-template roles.
Edit role name, description, and permissions.
Role permission changes propagate to users still attached to the role.
Roles can be deleted only if they are not system roles and have no attached users.

Create and modify fuel types.
Fuel types currently may be created and edited, but not deleted.
Check density and unit labels carefully, because they affect W&B calculations and display.

Any user with Admin permission may create, edit, disable, or re-enable a system notice.
Notices are shown to signed-in users after the disclaimer. DISMISS records that the user has completed the notice and prevents it from being shown to that user again.
RE-READ LATER continues the current login without dismissing the notice. The notice is shown again after the user signs in again unless it has expired or been disabled.
An optional expiration date expires the notice at the same Pacific-time time of day at which it was created.
Disabled notices are not shown to users. A disabled notice remains in the normal admin list until it expires, so an admin can edit or re-enable it.
The normal list excludes expired notices. Use SHOW ALL to include expired notices.

Edit existing config-row values and descriptions inline.
Create new config rows when new keyed settings are needed.
Key and type are fixed after creation.
Debug flags such as debugging, debug_wx, debug_network, debug_wb, debug_form, debug_form_profile, and debug_type are controlled here.

Templates follow owner/admin visibility and edit rules.
Delete on the Templates page means disable, not physical purge.
Disabled templates stay visible to owner/admin on the Templates page, but disappear from normal flight form generation choices.
