Creating administrators

Home  Topic above  Next topic  Print this Topic

SameDay Courier online users can be created individually or in bulk.

Once an individual is assigned to a group, the group determines the individual's role and permissions. So administrators are a special type of user who have admin privileges because they are assigned to an admin group.

Individuals who have a SameDay ID but who are not in a group (or have been removed from a group) are available for assignment to any user/admin group.

Before you start

1.You must be logged in as an administrator.
2.If you need to create administrators in bulk, create a .CSV file (the header row is ignored on import).
3.Administrators cannot add more people to their own Admin group (the group to which they themselves belong).

Actions

1.Select ADMIN > LogIn Management > Add New Administrator
2.If appropriate, choose the group to which the administrator(s) will belong from the Admin Group Name dropdown list.
3.To create administrators in bulk using a prepared .CSV file, click Upload User List, find the .CSV file and click Open.

OR

To create one administrator at a time, go to the New Admin Details panel and fill in all the mandatory fields.

4.When you have completed setting up the administrator, click one of the following:

Save (save and stay on the same page) / Save & Close (save and leave the page) / Close (cancel the changes).

The newly assigned administrator receives a welcome email containing a login ID and password.

When they log in for the first time, new administrators have to register with the system and create a password of their own.
