After you click on the User Type, you will see the items corresponding to the type of user you have will be checked off.  If you need to add or remove items that you do not wish to grant the employee access to, just remove the check from the corresponding boxes.  Once you have selected the items for the employee, click on Next.

Create a user name and password for your employee.  After you have completed the form, click on Create Account.

Once you click on Create Account the user will be listed below on the list of users in User Management. To make any changes to the user you can use the icons to the right of the user name.

• Edit User name – (person with green plus) to edit the user name of your AkkenCloud user
• Edit Password – (key) to edit the password of your AkkenCloud user   NOTE: AkkenCloud does not reset passwords for users, only the Primary Admin on the account will be able to have AkkenCloud reset his/her password.  All other users can be reset by the Admin.

Granting HRM Department Viewership Access:

 In order for administrators to view records within employee management of employees of your company you must be give permissions within the Administration Department in HRM to view the list.  Chris Allison is the only user with permissions to view the Administration Department and all the employee records that are associated with the Administration Department.  Currently there are 15 employees associated with the Administration Department.

If there is going to be more than one administrator that will require access to the Administration Department, you can add permissions to other users through Edit Department.  Check the box next to the department you wish to Edit, then Edit Department.

In order to add multiple users you must hold down the control key (CTRL) and select the users you wish to add, then click on Save.  These users now have permission to view the records in those folders.
