Create New User

New users can be created from the Users page. Team members that need access to R365 can be added as Users to R365. Users have the option to set permissions using user roles or by copying permissions from an existing user.

Partner Channel Users will have a different User Record.

Users & Security Limits 

Users who have permissions related to user management, including creating and editing user roles, permissions, assigned locations, and report roles, can only edit within their own access level. Learn more about user editing restrictions and access levels.


Security

Users with the following permissions can create new users:

  • Administration → Users → Create & Impersonate Users


These permissions can be added to custom user roles or individual users. The Permission Access report can be used to determine which user roles or users already have these permissions assigned. For more information, see User Setup and Security.
