Users can add new users whenever they need to from the Settings menu. When adding new users OMS will search on email addresses. Sometimes you need to enter more than just the first name to get results and it has to be entered as an email so putting a space between the first and last name would not return results.
Important: Adding a new user in OMS Next will NOT give them access to IPS.
Instructions
- Open Settings>User Security.
Use the "User" name search to see if they already have a user as it may be inactive.
- If nothing is found, click "Add New User".
- Enter the user's entire email address into the "Login Email" field.
- NOTE: In order to get results users must enter text in email format like "john.smith" entering a space between the first and last name will not return results.
Select the matching email from the result list.
- Verify the user's name is correct and click "Add".
- If applicable, set the user's command filter.
- If set to one specific command they will be limited to only see those actively serving in that command.
Select the user's role.
- Verify the specific permissions that were pulled in from the role.
- Modify the permissions as necessary.
- Click "Save".
The best way to add users is by copying their email address and pasting that into the "Login Email" field. If they are not found then either the email is wrong or IT needs to create the email address.
