Adding a New User

In the Users Settings console, Administrators can add new users to XpoLog.

For each new user, the Administrator can:

• Assign a username and password.
• Associate the user with a user group that is defined in the system. Associating a user with a group enables giving permissions to a user at a group level, instead of at a user level.
• Select the user groups that are to be under the new user's administration.
• Set the policy used by the user – either the policy of the groups that the the user is associated with or another policy.  

Note: At least one associated group must be selected for a new User.

1. In the XpoLog Manager menu, click Security > Users.
   The Users console opens.
