Creating a New User

To add a new user to the system:

1. Go to the Admin > Accounts > Users menu command.

The registered users list opens.

2. Click New Users in the upper right corner of the user overview window.
Note: If the new user is to be connected to a new company in Forsta Plus, this new company must be created BEFORE the new user is added (go to Companies Overview for more information).



Figure 1 - The New Users button

A new frame opens towards the right side of the browser. This frame contains fields for registering user details.



Figure 2 - User details

Note: One User ID entitles only one named person to use Forsta Plus. User ID details must refer to a named person, and the e-mail address must belong to that person. Anonymous / shared names (for example "user1") or addresses (for example "[e-mail]) are not permitted.
3. Enter the appropriate information in all fields in the user registration window.
Note: The Expiry date field will contain the date set by the Default user expiry date field on the company's General tab. You can change this date here, but the field cannot be empty.
4. Click Save.

If new users are to transfer PGP-encrypted files and data from Forsta Plus, their public PGP key must be set.

Note: PGP encryption is a payable add-on.
