Plan and Create User Accounts

Before creating a user account, determine what information and permissions are necessary for the account. To do this, answer the following questions:

  • What is an appropriate primary email or username and password for the account?

    • Users with all account types except Service or Service as Administrator use their primary email to log in. A user will receive a welcome email at this primary email with instructions for setting up their own passwords after the user account has been created.

    • User accounts with the account type of Service or Service as Administrator require administrators to enter a username and password as part of setting up the account.

  • What position or positions will the user be assigned to? Does the position already exist?

  • Will the user be a WebEOC Nexus administrator? If so, do they need access to all administrator areas, or only particular ones?

    Partial Administrator rights and permissions are assigned via an Admin Profile.

  • Will the account be used only by the WebEOC Nexus API?

    Create this type of user account with a Service or Service as Administrator account type.

    When you have this information, you are ready to create a user account.
