Creating a Permission-based User Account

As the Administrator Account, you have the ability to create sub-users known as Permission-based User Accounts. If you are unsure whether or not you have an Administrator Account, please review this page. 

When logged into an Administrator Account, please follow the below instructions to create a Permission-based User Account. 

1. 1. While logged into Sitecloud, click the button in the top left corner of the page to open the Page Navigation Window

       

   2. Click on “Account Preferences”

       

      

   3. Within the Account Preferences window, select “Configure Permission-based User access”

       

      

   4. Select “Create New”

      

   5. Create a new username and password for the user you wish to create, then confirm the password. Then click “Save”.

      Note: The username and password must be a minimum of 6 characters

      
      

   6. Once created, the new account will be visible under the “Permission based-user Accounts” window. From here you can “Delete” this account, “Change Password” for this account or edit “Permissions” for this account. Let’s configure the Permissions.
