Ranks

The Admin Ranks section is used to create and manage agency ranks. The Rank attribute can be used as part of a user's profile, but Rank is not a required field for user management.

Rank can be added or changed in existing user profiles from the Manage User page. Ranks can also be added when the user is added or imported into Axon Evidence.com. See User Administration for more information on working with users.

This article includes information on adding, editing, deleting, and reordering Rank information.
