Creating a new user

Horizon lets you create user logins for everyone in your team, with role-based user permissions so that you can control the functions that each user can see and use. It's possible to ensure that some users require authorisation to create a new user, to learn about this ability, see Authorisation for user management.

How to create a new user

1. Click 'Settings' in the left-hand menu.
   
   
2. Select 'Users'.
   
   
3. Click 'Add new user'.
   
   
4. Enter the user's email as their User name. This makes it easier to remember.
   
   
5. Add their email address (for sending password reminders and password resets).
   
   
6. Add any other personal details, such as name, phone number, Time zone, etc.
   
   
7. Click 'Set password'
   
   
8. Enter and confirm the user's temporary password. The password entry box will also remind you of your account's password policy (for example the minimum password length).
   
   
9. Click 'Set'
   
   
10. Click  to the right of the 'Role' field. Select a role for the new user (this controls their system permissions). For more information on Roles, check out Using Roles to control user permissions.
    
    
11. Click 'Add licence'
    
    
12. You'll see a list of available user licences. If you need more user licences, please contact us.
    Tick the licences that you'd like to assign to the user then click 'Add selected'
    
    
13. Once you're done, close the Licences window.
    
    
14. Click 'Save'
    
    
15. The user will receive an email asking them to activate their Horizon account.
