Create a User

Creating users in BE

Creating new users in BE is as easy as a walk in the park.

 Log into the system  From the Main Menu, find the module called System Access Management (SAM)  In SAM, open up the "User Administration" section  Click on "Add User - Security Details Only"  Then fill in the details and click the sections you want the user to have.  

Done and dusted :)

Couple of useful notes:

1. Although creating users is straight forward, it may be easier to "Copy" a user. As this will tick all the same sections and grant permissions identical to the copied user. 2. For mass user loading, BE allows a list of users to be uploaded and using an existing user as a template create as many users as you need. (Eazy-peazy) 3. Often our users will "Add" a user using "User Setup Requests" and "Request New user". This user will not be live, but can be edited to change their status from "Pending" to "Live"

Troubleshooting:

The most common trouble comes from spaces. If you copy and paste in a name, please check that you haven't got a space at the end of the Firstname or the Surname.

Passwords get forgotten. The most useful approach is to reset the password to "password" and the system will request the user to update their password on next login.
