Add a New User

INTRODUCTION:

IF the person you want to designate as a Safety Indicators User is already listed in the system as an Employee, you can skip the first section below. IF the person is a New Employee, they first need to be added to the system. 

Adding a new User also includes assigning them to the appropriate Projects and Permission Groups.

If at any time the system doesn’t seem to be updated with your recent additions or revisions, try refreshing the browser.

When you complete this process, the system will automatically send the new User an Introductory Email to notify them that they’ve been added to the system, and to provide next steps for them to access the system.
