How do I add / delete a User?
Payroll Administrator Support
Our User Account strategy is to empower you to:
-
Create user accounts
-
Have users set their own passwords
Creating a New User Account
1. On the Users Setup > Overview page, click the “New” button…
2. In the form that appears, complete the four fields highlighted below.The software requires you to define a password at this point; however, you will reset it prior to having the user attempt to log in the first time (see below).
3. On a rare occasion (i.e. manager turnover), you might want to copy Published
Reports from one user to another. To do this:
-
Click the "Copy Existing User" button
-
Click the "Published Reports" checkbox
-
Click the user from which to copy
-
Click "OK"
4. You will be returned to the Users Setup > Overview page.Locate the User you just created on the list.
5. Reset the user’s password.To do this, click on the asterisks in the “password” field and then click the “reset password” button.This will cause the software to prompt the user to create their own password upon attempting to log in the first time.Note: this allows the user to type any text as their password (i.e. “password”).
