Adding a User

The DATAssure™ system has one default admin user from manufacture, all other system users need to be created on the system. Depending on the DATAssure™ base station version up to 20 users can be added.

Users are assigned access rights and only have permissions granted by administrator level users.

User Management is accessed via the system Settings page, to add a user follow:

SETTINGS=> USER SETTINGS=> USER MANAGEMENT=> Add User

See User Management View Explained for more information on the user management.
