Managing standard and admin users
The most common users are standard and admin users.
Creating a new admin user account
When a new person joins your team, either as an employee or contractor, and you want them to be able to sign in with full admin rights, you will need to create an admin level account for them. You may consider implementing user roles to help restrict which sections of the admin panel your staff can access.
To create an admin, first you must add the person as a contact, and then grant them admin access. When you create a contact for a new admin user, make sure the welcome email option is set to yes.
How do I add an admin user to my location?
First, create a contact (make sure the welcome email message is turned on so this contact also has a user account). Then you can give that contact admin access, which grants them full unrestricted administrator access to your location.
You can also create user roles if you do not want to grant all of your staff members full administrator rights.
How can I set a User as an Administrator?
Go to the User's profile via Settings > Users and security. Then, enable the Full unrestricted administrator option in this section and click on Save to complete the process.

Setting up a user account for a member or contact
User accounts are automatically created for new members and contacts when they sign up, so you will not usually have to manually set up accounts for them. However, if the user account has been removed or deactivated, or if the member or contact was added within the dashboard, you may want to add or activate a user account for a member or contact.

In the side menu, click Operations.
Click Members and contacts.
In the Filter by section, make sure it is set to Members or Contacts as appropriate.
Do one of the following:
