Managing Users

The first Management Console user is created through the Initial Registration process. This is a one-time process; further users must be invited to the Console by an existing Admin user.

An admin user can invite users by two methods:

  • Generate an invitation link for a named email address, and then provide that link to the user
  • Configure an email relay for the Management Console, then use the Management Console to invite users by email

  1. Go to Settings > User Management and select Send Invite

  2. Enter the user's email, select the desired role, and click "Get an invite link"

  3. Copy-and-paste the invite link and share it with the user. Links are valid for a short period of time only.
