This article describes the administrative tool for performing permit switches and moves. This feature provides two distinct functions: swapping permit assignments between two permits, and moving a permit from one user to another. This tool is essential for managing changes in user parking assignments or handling permit transfers. This guide is intended for OPSCOM administrators.
### Using this Feature The tool offers two primary functions which are detailed below. This feature is a standard administrative tool and does not require any specific configuration to use. Its functionality relies on existing user and permit data. ##### Swapping Permits This process is used to exchange permit assignments. This can be between two users, or for moving one user to a different, vacant permit. - Select the lot and permit number for the first permit in the **Current Permit** fields. - Select the lot and permit number for the second permit in the **New Permit Lot** fields. Permits already assigned to other users will be highlighted and display the owner's name. - Click the **Switch two permits** button. - On the confirmation screen, review the price difference and select either the **Full Price** or **Prorated Price** radio button. - Enter a mandatory **Reason for Action**. - Click the **Switch User Permit** button to finalize the swap. ##### Moving a Permit from One User to Another This process transfers ownership of a specific permit from one user to another. - In the first user search field, find and **Select** the user who currently holds the permit. A list of their assigned permits will be displayed. - Select the permit you wish to move. A second user search field will appear. - In the second search field, find the user who will be receiving the permit. - Click the **Move Permit** button. - Click **Ok** in the confirmation dialog to finalize the transfer. ### Best Practices & Considerations
