Working with users

You must set up users for a variety of reasons:

• you need a user account in order to log in;
• you need an email address for notifications;
• you need to include signature images for valuers for inclusion on reports; and
• you need to set up user roles to ensure that people have access to the right functionality.

Create a user

1. Go to the Contractor | Users menu item.

2. Click the New user button.

3. Fill out the Create user form. At a minimum enter:

   • Username

     The username can be any combination of letters and numbers. A lower case single word name or an email address is recommended.

   • Full name

   • Email address

   • One or more User roles.

     info

     The user should be a least a User. You can assign further roles when appropriate. If you assign the role of Terminated User, the user will not be able to log in.

4. Tick at least one contract region (if there isn’t one already ticked).

info

Without a contract region, the user won't see any search results for properties, supps, sales or analyses. Search results are restricted to the districts associated with the user's contract regions.

5. Press Save.

MVOW will send a password reset email to the user so that they can set their own password and then log in.

Edit a user

1. Go to the Contractor | Users menu item.
2. Click the Edit button and then make your changes.
3. When complete, press Save.

Remove a user

Users cannot be deleted from the system. Instead of deleting them, mark them as terminated.

1. Edit the user.
2. Remove all current roles.
3. Tick the Terminated user role.

The user will now no longer be able to login.
