Creating a User
To create a new User Account:
Log in
Click on the Cog symbol in the top right corner and click on Administration.
Go to the Users section, located in the left toolbar.
Click the + button in the User Details section and enter the details for the user.
Choose their privilege type.
Click Save.
You can then use the "Send Password Reset" button to send the new user an email with a link to set their own password.
