How to Add Administrator or Representative Users?

Modified on: Mon, 7 Oct, 2024 at 1:56 PM


Attention! Multi-tiered portal: add your team members as Administrators before you provide them with Trusted Advisors' access to other Vaults. Each portal can have their separate group of users, but can only exist in one at the time. 

You can choose what role your team member will have, and provide or remove access to additional areas (Features) inside your portal. (Depending on the type of portal and features enabled on your system you will be able to see and manage these access items). 

  • An Administrator will have automatically access to all Vaults and company folders inside a Vault, will be able to create and manage other users, Vaults and Collaborators by default. 
  • A Representative can have limited access to specific Vaults and folders inside a Vault, and the must be assigned manually to Vaults. They can create and manage Collaborators inside the Vaults they have been assigned to.

On your User tab, you will be able to check the status of each user (Invite, Active or Inactive), their role and last login date. Click on the headers of each column to search, sort or add any filer.

Step 1: Go to the main menu on the left, click on the 'Users' tab.
