Prepare access and site controls without assuming evidence access.

Review edition · 25 October 2026 · For Owner

On this page

As Owner, prepare LotTrail's site and people and manage its technical closure. Owner authority alone does not reveal evidence or grant access to declared datasets.

Prepare the site

Sign in through Accounts, choose the correct organisation and use Set up where offered. Check the site name and timezone. Invite people and grant LotTrail roles in Accounts, then inspect local assignments in Team & stations.

Agree who owns each source, who can declare and share it, who investigates and who reviews decisions. Supervisors create declared datasets and their explicit readers. Product roles and dataset disclosure grants are separate requirements. An administrative role cannot bypass missing source permission.

Keep the operating boundary clear

LotTrail investigates admitted evidence and records local cases and identity decisions. Source products retain authority over stock, custody, execution, quality, despatch and containment. Closing a LotTrail case or site does not perform a recall or stop physical operations elsewhere.

Use protective controls when authorised changes must restrict disclosure during a service or commercial problem. The Owner receives technical closure information rather than an evidence-access shortcut.

Preserve the permitted records

Site data and closure offers retained-record export for an Owner or Supervisor with recent authentication and the required current dataset grants. Being Owner does not make the archive an unrestricted export of sources you cannot read.

Preparation and download recheck access, and the temporary export is bound to its session and recovery state. Download it promptly and keep it through your organisation's approved process. It excludes raw uploaded files, unfinished reviews and secrets.

Read site preparation, exports and recovery and Accounts access. Agree subscriptions and source retention separately; a technical closure does not cancel billing or erase factory history.
