Add a User

Introduction

The Add User feature in iSIMS allows administrators to create staff accounts. Once an account is created, the user receives an email with instructions and credentials to access the system.

Accessing the Add User Page

1. Navigate to Administration > Add Users and Staff.

2. Complete the form with the required details.

3. Click Save.

Once the account is successfully created, an email is automatically sent to the user with login instructions.

Critical Points

1. Staff ID

   • Must be a unique value for each user.

2. Department

   • Ensure the correct department is selected.

   • Department selection may affect user permissions and access.

3. Email Address

   • Must be unique and cannot be duplicated in the system.

4. Role and Campus

   • At creation, only one role and one campus can be assigned.

   • To assign multiple roles or campuses, go to Administration > Edit Users.

5. Staff who are also Students

   • Enter the Student ID number in the corresponding field.

   • This prevents the staff member from accessing their student account or classmates’ information.

6. Integration with Google or Microsoft

   • Ensure the institution email address is entered.

   • This allows the user to authenticate via their institution email when SSO is enabled.
