Manage users

The Manage Users page lets you add, edit, or delete a user, bulk inactivate users, bulk assign charges, and perform other actions. While you can create custom roles and assign appropriate permissions based on responsibility, administrative privileges can be configured at the user level. This gives districts control of visibility and management rights, so users only access data relevant to their department or responsibilities.

Example: For a user assigned a Staff role, administrative privileges can be restricted by: building, request type, system, asset type, inventory category, and inventory type.

You can also set up which email notifications users receive, customize your view, and access the user's details.
