What you should know

To use shared permits, the permits must come from a third-party parking permit provider using the Pay-by-Plate Sync plugin. You can define static permits for vehicles in Security Center, however these permits cannot be shared between vehicles.
To use this feature, the Pay-by-Plate Sync permit provider must support shared permits.

To enable shared permits:

Enter the server password that you set during the server installation, and click Log on.
The Server Admin Overview page is displayed.
Select your server from the Servers list.
From the Actions drop-down list, select </> Console.
Select the Commands tab.
From the commands list, expand Parking management commands.
