How to create a user

How to add a new user account and who has permission to do it.

This article walks you through adding a new user to wxrks, and who's allowed to do it.
​

💡 Who is this for? This guide is for Account_Admin and Project_Manager who need to add a new user account within the wxrks platform.


Steps to add a user

1. In the left sidebar, click People, then click Add User.

Users page with the People menu expanded in the left sidebar; the Add User link is highlighted with a red box

2. Fill in the form. Name, Email, and Organization are required. The roles you can pick in User Role depend on your own role — see Who can assign which role below. Everything else (country, state, city, postal code, Slack handle, default entry point, notes) is optional.
​
​Notify User ("Send password creation link") is checked by default — it emails the new user a link to set their own password. Uncheck it if you're not ready for them to get that email yet, for example when setting up several accounts ahead of a planned onboarding date; you can still send the reset link later from their profile.

Create User form filled with sample name Jane Doe and email <a href="mailto:jane.doe@example.com" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">jane.doe@example.com</a>, showing the Status, Organization, Country, State, City, Postal Code, Slack, User Role, Default Entry Point, Notify User and Notes fields, and the Save button

3. Click Save.


Who can assign which role

Account_Admin can assign any role to the new user. Project_Manager can only assign the Project_Manager or Vendor role.
​
For a full breakdown of what each role can do, see All about wxrks roles.


Troubleshooting

If the form shows Email already in use, that email is already registered in wxrks. Check your user list for it, ask the existing user to reset their password, or use a different email address.
