How to Add Users?

This article explains how to create a new user for an application.

Introduction

Administrators and Operators are considered users; each comes with default roles assigned to them in the system. These users can only access the application in which they were created.

However, you have the flexibility to modify these roles or create custom roles tailored to your needs.

This article will walk you through the steps to create an Administrator user and assign the appropriate role, ensuring they have the necessary permissions to manage the application efficiently.

How to Create a User?

There are different ways to create a user in GpsGate:

• Invite new user feature
• Manually adding the users (explained below)
• Batch import users
• Using REST API

Creating a User (Manually)

1. Log in to your application

2.1. In the Assets panel, click the down arrow from the +Asset button and select Custom asset.

Learn more about user types here.

*Note: If you select another user type (e.g. + Asset), the + Custom asset button will now read + Asset. This saved history on the button saves time if you need to create another user of the same type. If you need to add a user with another user type, simply click the down arrow to access another user type.

2.2. An alternative is to navigate to Main Menu > Admin> Manage Users and select Create Custom User.

Upon clicking the Custom asset / Create custom user, the below window opens. You can now click on User Type and select the type of user, as shown below.

3. Click on Details and enter the required details, including Username, Password, and Displayed Name.

4. Click on Save

Manage Users:

You've now created your user - myOperator. You can view the users of your application in the Manage Users panel. This is located under Main Menu - Admin - Manage users. 

From this panel, you can create a new user, invite the users to the application or edit the details of those.
