Creating New Users and Assigning them Roles 

Note: Only AE Department heads are recommended to perform this action

Navigate to the Customer Level where the new user is meant to be under and go to the Administration tab and go to Users. This page will show all current users that exist under that customer level and add a new user, click on the  icon :

This will lead you to this page

 

In order for the user to be saved, it requires the user’s First and Last name to be entered along with the Login Name and the Email Address (found on the Basic tab) as well as selecting a Role for the user in the dropdown.

How to change permissions in a role affecting all users in that role

Note: Only AE Department heads are authorized to perform this action

For example, I see that 6 users are assigned the Developer w/Control Role based on the User Count column on the Administration > Roles page:

If I were to click on the wrench icon on the Edit column, I would be taken to the Roles configuration page for the Developer w/Control Role where I can see all 6 users listed on the left:

If I were to make a change on this page if I hit save, I am prompted to verify that the change I'm making would be okay to affect all 6 users:
