Creating Users, User Roles, Tags, & Viewing User History

SiteCapture usernames must be unique across all of our customer base.  Therefore, we recommend using an email address for the usernames you create for your various users. If you have a user who has already been in SiteCapture and you try to add them with the same username you will get an error message.  If you do not want to use their email address as their username, another recommendation is that you have a unique identifier in the username (such as adding the company name in or initials, etc.).  The email address that is set below the display name in the user record does not have to be unique, only the username itself has to be unique across all of SiteCapture.

1. Admin users can create new users by clicking the “Admin” gear in the top right corner of their portal (web app).

You can also view user history such as when the user was created, and updated, who updated the user, and their last login date.
