User Management

 

As you have created the account on Contributesignage.com – you by default are the administrator with full user privileges. However, you will probably want to create some other users with access to the account for assistance perhaps with creating layouts or managing devices or schedules. With Contribute Signage, you are able to create as many users as you wish on the online portal. You are also able to control what each of these users has access to. 

In this training session, we are going to create a new user and create limited access for them just to the Crisis Management section of the Online Portal.

From the Online Portal, you need to choose Account Settings.

From account settings, you need to select “Users” and then you need to select “Roles”
 

From this section of the Online Portal, we are going to create a new role foe a user we will create next. Firstly, we are going to call this role “TouchIT Training” and we are then going to select only access to “Crisis Management” – this means that the user we are going to create next will only have access to Crisis Management and the rest of the features will be disabled for that user. Once you have a screen that looks like the below, click save.

Your newly created Role will appear in the table like the image below.

Now we need to navigate back to the Account Settings, then Users and click on the Users Icon. We’re then going to add a new user. You can choose any name and select your own email (as it needs to be unique on our system) and select a simple password. For the role, in the dropdown box you need to select the role we have just created, “TouchIT Training”

Once the user has been added and appears in the table below, we need to sign out of our account and we do this by clicking on our name at the top right of the screen and selecting logout. 

Now, we need to sign back in with the email address that you just selected for our new user and the password that you choose. Below is my example, make sure that you use your own email and password that you chose.

When you sign in, you will notice that the menu system now only has the Crisis Management link, all the other buttons have been removed. This is because this was the only access that we granted to this user.

Remember, you will need to sign back into your admin account if you want to make any changes to the user’s role. Why not try assigning some more privileges to that role and then log back in to see how they affect the user?
