A user is a person who has access to the application.  All users created in MDO have unique credentials that can be used to identify any task they perform within the application. Users are assigned roles as per their responsibilities or location. What information a user has access to or what information a user can change can be controlled by the user’s assigned role.   

To create a user, follow these steps: 

1. Login with administrator credentials. 
2. Click on the Settings icon at the top right corner on the Home page. 
3. From the left menu bar, select Users. 
4. Click on Add New User. 
5. Fill in the required details. 
6. Select the checkbox for Admin Access if the user requires administrator configuration access. 
7. Click Next. This step is where the role(s) are defined for the user. By selecting a role, it assigns that role’s permissions to the user. 
8. To select only one role for the user, choose both Default and Assign against the role. If the user requires the access of two different roles, then Assign the relevant roles and select one role as the Default. This gives the user the ability to switch from one role to the other. 
9. Click Next.  General information such as phone number and address can be recorded if required. 
10. Click Finish. 

The new user has now been created and is assigned to their role(s). They will automatically receive a confirmation email with a password sent to their email address provided.
