How to add Users

Adding user accounts to the Newsroom platform.

This article will explain how to create new user accounts that grant access to make changes to a Newsroom. Different access levels can be granted depending on how each user will be contributing to a Newsroom.

After a new user has been created, an email with instructions will be sent to the provided email address.

1. Click on the arrow button near the account and profile images at the far right side.

2. Click "Admin settings" from the drop down menu.
Note: only Administrator level users will have this ability.

3. Click the green "Add User" button in the "Users" section.

4. Enter the user's name, gender, preferred language and e-mail address.
Note: ensure that the e-mail address is entered correctly.  This is where log in credentials will be sent, and will serve as the username.

5. Select the time zone where the user is located. 

6. Select the type of account the user will have: 

7.  The newly created user will receive an email with instructions to complete the account set up. If only one Newsroom account exists, the new user will automatically be assigned to it.

8. If there are multiple Newsroom accounts,  the Administrator must assign an account to the new user.  Find the user in the "Admin Settings" menu, and click the hamburger icon.
Note: Administrator level accounts can also change user type and delete users from this menu. 

9. Choose from available accounts that the new user will be working in.

10. Select one account from the drop down menu, or click the three dots icon for a mass edit option, and click "Add".

The user now has access to the platform and can begin working as intended.
