Sharing
Three ways to give someone access to your operation. Pick whichever fits the situation — face-to-face, over the phone, or over radio.
Pick the Role First
Before you share, pick what level of access you're giving:
- User — can drop and edit their own pins
- Viewer — read-only, can see but not change anything
Each role has its own QR code, link, and PIN. See Roles for the full breakdown.
The Three Methods
QR Code — Face-to-Face
Hand your phone to the person next to you. They open their phone's camera, point it at your QR code, and tap the link that pops up. They're in in 10 seconds. Best method when you're standing right next to them.
Short Link — Over the Phone / Text / Email
Tap Copy and paste the link into a text message, email, or radio log. When they tap the link, FieldOps opens with the role pre-set — they just enter their name and they're in.
Links look like fieldops.app/j/x8KqP2. Short on purpose so they're easy to read out loud if needed.
4-Digit PIN — Over Radio
Read the 4-digit PIN over the radio. The other person opens fieldops.app, types the operation name (or picks from the list if it's already shared with them), enters their name, and enters the PIN. They land in the operation with the role the PIN grants.
Face-to-face → QR. On the phone or in email → link. Radio-only → PIN. If you're not sure, use the link — it works everywhere.
Revoking Access
From Settings → Access, an admin can:
- Regenerate the QR/link/PIN (makes the old one stop working)
- Remove a specific user from the team roster
- Disable PIN sign-in entirely
Regenerating is the fastest way to kick someone out without removing anyone else — the old code is dead, you hand out the new one to people you still trust.
Using navigator.share
On phones that support it, tap the Share icon next to the link — it opens your phone's native share sheet so you can send directly to a contact, email, messaging app, etc. without manually copying and pasting.
