== Add a User ==
 
 
In order to allow a user to access the system, the System Administrator must create a user account for the person, with a unique username and password. Each user is assigned a role, which determines the actions that the user can perform in the system.
 
# On the Home page or left menu, click <u>Administer Users</u>.
# Select <u>Add New User</u> from the dropdown menu and click the <code>Add</code> button.
# Enter a '''Username''' for the user: one word with no special characters (letters and numbers only).
# Enter the '''First Name''' and '''Surname''' of the user.
# Enter an '''Email''' for the user, if known (optional).
# Select the '''Role''' of the user (see below for roles). If no role is selected, the user will be disabled and cannot access the system in any capacity.
# Select the option to randomly '''Generate a New Password''' or enter a '''Password''' for the user. If the password is entered, re-enter it to confirm. The two passwords must match.
# Click <code>Confirm</code> and confirm that the account entered is correct. If it is not correct, click <code>Edit</code> to change it. If it is, click <code>Save</code> to save it.
 
If an email address was entered, an email message will be sent to the user with the username and password. Otherwise, you will have to provide the user with the username and password.

'''The username is already in the system.'''
 
The system will generate an error for duplicate usernames. Return to the Administer Users screen and select the username from the dropdown menu to edit the user account (see Update a User).
 
 
== Update a User ==
 
 
If information about a user has changed, the System Administrator can update the user account with the change. Usernames and passwords may also be changed. If a user no longer has access to the system, the account can be disabled.
 
# On the Home page or left menu, click <u>Administer Users</u>.
# From the menu select the user account to change.
# The user account information is displayed. Make the change or select "No Access" from the '''Role''' menu to disable the account.
# Click <code>Confirm</code> and confirm that the changes are correct. If not, click <code>Edit</code> to change them. If it is, click <code>Save</code> to save them.
