This guide takes you through how to set up new user logins.  When setting up new users like this – you can keep track of each user’s activity and control what areas they can access.

  • Create a username – Each person using the software must have a user name. The name can use upper or lower case characters, spaces or numbers.
  • Password not required – Select this option if you don’t want this user to have a password.
    Note: The option is only available to a standard user type.

  • Create Password / Confirm Password – Adding a password to a username does provide extra security.
