Creating a User

To create a new User Account:

  1. Log in
  2. Click on the Cog symbol in the top right corner and click on Administration.
  3. Go to the Users section, located in the left toolbar.
  4. Click the + button in the User Details section and enter the details for the user.
  5. Choose their privilege type.
  6. 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.


NOTE: The emails do not send the user their Username. You must communicate that to them yourself. This gives you the opportunity to tell them about why they're being given access and the licencing and copyright restrictions around using the tool on behalf of your organisation.


Changing a User Type

You can change a user type at any time to give them more or less access rights.
