Create Monitor users

By default, from the log-in screen, anyone can create their own read-only user and have read-only access to the Monitor. However, administrators can change this default so that only administrators can create users; see Only allow administrators the ability to create users.

 To create a read-only user from the log-in screen
  1. Click Create New User.

    Note

    If the Create New User link is not available, then the administrator has changed the default behavior so that only administrators can create new users. Contact your Monitor administrator to create a new user.

  2. Fill in the information for the new user.

    An email address is only required if you want to receive email alerts from the Monitor. Contact your Monitor administrator to change your user type to operator or administrator, and sign you up to receive email alerts. See Send alert emails.

When logged in, administrators can create any type of user, including other administrators.

 To create new users when logged-in as an Administrator
  1. Log in to the Monitor as an administrator.

  2. Choose Tools » Administration.

  3. Click Users.

  4. Click New.

  5. Fill in the information for the new user. An email address is only required for users who should receive email alerts from the Monitor.

  6. Select a language from the Preferred Language Type dropdown menu. The specified language sets the language used by the Monitor, including the language used in alerts.

  7. Select a user type. Each type has different permissions. See Monitor users.

  8. Click Next to create the resource dashboards for this user.

  9. Click Save.

  10. Click Close.

  11. If you created an operator or an administrator user, this user can receive alert notifications by email. See Send alert emails.
