A step-by-step guide (text)
Step 1: Navigate to Add user section
- Go to your Admin Atlas page.
- Click Users on the left side menu pane to show the Users page.

Step 2: Fill out personal information

Click Upload file to open your local file search application. Navigate to your user’s signature file, select the filename, and click Open.
Step 3: Choose the sign-in method
To learn more about available sign-in methods, please refer to this guide: Sign-in methods available for users
via EMAIL ADDRESS:
- Select Yes for Has email?
- Enter the user’s email address. The user will be sent an email login link and asked to create a password the first time they sign in.
Note: Once you create a user, the automatic email login link will be sent immediately.
If you prefer not to send this email right away, consider using a username as a sign-in method or waiting to add the user until the timing is more appropriate for your communication plan.
via USERNAME:
- Select No for Has email?
- Create a unique Username for the user.
- Enter a temporary Password following the on-screen instructions, and re-enter in Confirm password.
Note: you will need to pass these sign-in credentials (a username and a temporary password) to the user yourself using your preferred method of communication.
Step 4: Fill out remaining fields
- Select access rights for this user from the dropdown menu. To learn more, see User Profiles explained.
- If your user has any type of administrator rights (Administrator, Coordinator, or Reporter), you can restrict their access to certain segments by selecting the relevant ones in the iHasco segments dropdown menu. To learn more about segments see What are organisational segments.
- Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) if needed. To do so, click the toggle to show Yes. To learn more, see the Atlas MFA guide.
- Enter information into any custom eLearning fields, if applicable.
- Click Save details to add the user.
