Overview

How do I add a new user to Legistar?

Resolution

  1. Open Legistar.

  2. Click the Tools menu and select Administration.

  3. Expand System Security on the left navigation and select User Accounts.

  4. Click New and begin entering the User name.  The auto type begins matching an entry from the people table and selects the name.  

  5. If the user is not found during the auto type, click on the blue plus sign (next to the user name field). This will open the People names table. At this time you will enter the users first name and last name in the display name filed and click tab which will load the names to the appropriate fields.  After you have entered the person in the people table click Go Back.  

  6. Enter the Logon name and select the Security Group. The default password is password.

  7. Configure permissions for the security group as needed.

  8. Enter a number for the Login Limit. This determines how many times this user can be logged in to Legistar at the same time from different machines.

  9. Click Save when you are finished. The new user has been added!
