Administrators with the appropriate rights can add users to specific regions. The user account allows an individual to log in and access information in EMResource. Some users can also update resource statuses and create events.Image RemovedCreating a new user account involves defining profile details, assigning a role or roles, assigning one or more views, and more.

Roles and rights are assigned during the user creation process. The roles you assign to users govern the views and features that are available to them. Specifically, a role grants a predefined set of rights.

You can specify the region views to which the user has access, including the user's default view. If your region has mutual aid agreements set up with other regions, you can allow this user to have access to viewing one or more them. This feature may be particularly appropriate for those along regional borders.

While creating the user's profile, you will specify the resources to which this the user has access, and the type of access that user has. For example, you can specify that the user can only view the resource or allow the user to update the resource's status or run reports. Refer to About Users for more information.

In addition, you can access this new user's notification preferences after you save this new account. Refer to Edit a User for details.
