# Assigning an RFID/NFC DriverID Tag to a Driver

## Assigning an RFID/NFC DriverID tag is the process of linking a physical card, fob, or tap‑enabled device to a driver so FleetConnect can automatically identify that driver when the tag is used in a vehicle or reader.

**1. Access User Management**

- Log in to **FleetConnect** with your administrator account.
- Navigate to **Admin → Manage User and Drivers**.
- Confirm you have administrator rights to manage users.

**2. Locate the Driver**

- In the **Manage Users** table, use the filter icon on the *Name* or *Email* column.
- Enter the driver’s details to narrow the list.
  
  ![User Management](https://kb.fleetconnect.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/User%20Management.jpg?width=670&height=259&name=User%20Management.jpg)
- Click the driver’s row to open the **Edit Driver** screen.

**3.  Open the DriverID Section** 

- In the **Driver Settings**, locate the **DriverID Section.**
- If the driver already has a DriverID tag assigned, the existing tag number will appear here.

**4. Assign the DriverID Tag (RFID/NFC)** 

- Enter the RFID/NFC tag number exactly as printed on the fob.
  
  ![Add Driver ID NFC Tag](https://kb.fleetconnect.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Add%20Driver%20ID%20NFC%20Tag.jpg?width=670&height=291&name=Add%20Driver%20ID%20NFC%20Tag.jpg)
- Confirm the tag is unique and not already assigned to another driver.
- If replacing an old tag, overwrite the previous tag value.

**5. Save the Update**

- Click **Save** to apply the change.
- The RFID/NFC tag is now linked to the driver and ready for use.

**What Happens After Assignment**

Once saved, FleetConnect updates the driver’s identity profile:

- The RFID tag becomes the driver’s **primary physical identifier** for vehicle access and Driver ID events.
- Any vehicle equipped with RFID readers will automatically attribute trips, logins, and Driver ID changes to this driver when the tag is used.
- Automated trip assignment rules will use the RFID tag to ensure accurate driver attribution for utilisation, behaviour, odometer, fuel, and event reporting.
- If a poolcar booking or manual Driver ID override occurs, those will take precedence over RFID detection.
