Add Users

At the top of the Users tab, available licenses are shown for each license type. Make sure that you have enough licenses to create more user accounts. If not, see Purchase or Upgrade Paligo Licenses. If you are still in trial, you will be able to add teammates without adding licenses.

Switch view with the buttons.

You have the possibility to view the existing user accounts in a list or as icons. Below the license types, you find the buttons to switch view. The existing users are by default, grouped by user type, but in the List View, you can sort the columns alphabetically. Each group has different access permissions, see User Types.

  7. Enter a unique User name to be used during login along with a password.

    Tip

    To make it easy to remember, you can use the email address as the user name.

  8. Enter a Real name that will be displayed together with the personal avatar in Paligo. User avatar. It shows the user's image and their name. Next to the name is a downward pointing arrow, which when selected, reveals a menu.

  9. Enter the Email address that Paligo will use to notify the user.

    Caution

    Once the new user account is saved, an email will immediately be sent out from Paligo, to prompt the user to log in and change the password.

    For this reason, do not change the user name and email address, before the user has logged in for the first time.

  10. Select Usergroup from the menu.

  11. Select Save.

Note

The user will get a link with a temporary password by email. For security reasons, the temporary password will only provide access to a "Choose new password" display. The user must enter a new password and confirm it in order to log in to Paligo.

New user accounts are grayed out until the user logs in for the first time.
