When first viewing the Manage > Website > Users tab, permitted users are greeted with the ability to Show all users or Search based upon different parameters. The ability to add users and manage mobile groups can also be seen upon first visiting the page. You can sort the table alphabetically by clicking on any of the underlined column headings. This is useful if, for example, you wish to sort users by last name or email.

Adding users
Adding a new web user to your account can be done in two different ways:
- Add user: Clicking the Add user button at the top left of the screen will provide a pop-up window detailing what information the license needs in order to be active. Required fields are identified by a red asterisk.
- Show all > Edit: Alternatively, you can click the Show all button at the top, then hover over an empty row's Action button on the left. Click edit and you will see the same pop-up as if you clicked add user.
Roles
Individual user roles can be changed by hovering over a user's Action column and clicking Edit. Below is a list of what each role gives a user access to:
- Dispatcher: Allows a user to send dispatches to mobile users in the field.

Miscellaneous settings
-
Web group: Web groups are used to separate users for ease of access, and possibly security concerns. The most common use is for larger companies that have many divisions i.e. Northeast, Southeast, West, etc. These three divisions can be made into individual web groups and using the restrict by features correctly, the three groups would not be able to see each other's submitted data. This also extends to not being able to edit a different group's users even if you have permission for your own. Web groups can be created within the Edit or Add user pop-up window by clicking the Manage button next to the Web group dropdown.
- Time zone: Determines a web user's time zone for displaying dates and times. This setting will override the account's time zone settings and is useful if the user is not in your primary time zone.
-
Dispatch scheduler: Determines what forms a web user has access to send from Dispatch or Dispatch scheduler. If no forms are checked, all forms can be sent as dispatches. You can also select a default dispatch project and form from this section for ease of access.
- User variables: User variables are user specific pre-determined values that can be used in forms. User variables are thoroughly explained here.
Restrict by
You can control “who sees what” in the View data tab by setting the Restrict by options. These options allow you to restrict the viewing of records to those submitted by a specific device Mobile number, or any device assigned to a Mobile group. You can specify multiple Mobile numbers by separating them with commas.
In addition to controlling the View data and Dispatch access by Mobile group and Mobile number, we have added the ability to control access by Project. This means that the user will have access only to the forms in the selected projects. If no projects are selected, the user has access to all projects.
