iHRIS:Administer Users

Click Administer Users to create, update and disable user accounts to enforce secure access to the system. Only the System Administrator can add and update user accounts.

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.

1. On the Home page or left menu, click Configure System.
2. Click Administer Users.
3. Select Add New User from the dropdown menu and click the Add button.
4. Enter a Username for the user: one word with no special characters (letters and numbers only).
5. Enter the First Name and Surname of the user.
6. Enter an Email for the user, if known (optional).
7. 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.
8. Select the option to randomly Generate New Password or enter a Password for the user. If the password is entered, re-enter it to confirm. The two passwords must match.
9. Click Confirm and confirm that the account entered is correct. If it is not correct, click Edit to change it. If it is, click Save 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.
