This article will show you how to create new users, give permissions and assign roles all from within your SimCapture organization.

Things to know before you begin

Only System Administrators can create other Administrators.

Terms you should know

Permissions

• Manage Participants (set from System Setup).
  • Allows Administrator to create/edit/delete participant users.

Roles

• System Admins - Use this role with care. 
  • Have access to everyone and everything in the system. Ignores Organizations and sharing restrictions. 
• Administrators
  • Lower level administrators.
  • Can own/contribute to scenarios and sessions.
  • Can start sessions with permissions.
• Participants
  • No administrative rights.
  • Can be participants or viewers of sessions.
  • Cannot own, contribute to, or view scenarios or other users.

Organizations

Organizations create folders for your users, scenarios, and sessions that correspond to different sets of users or entities within your system. For example, a shared simulation center could have one organization for a University Nursing School and another for a Medical School, so their content is separated. Organizations should be used sparingly when content absolutely must be separated, as they add complexity to the application.

• Users can be a part of multiple organizations, but Scenarios and Sessions may only be part of one.
• Entire organizations can be added as viewers of Sessions and Scenarios. This gives all Administrators in that organization access to view those items.
• By default, Users can not view content from other organizations.
• System Admins will always see all content and all organizations regardless of their settings.

Create a new user

1. Log in to your organization and click Users > Add User. If you do not see the Add User button, ask your system administrator if you have permission to add new users. 

2. When the Add New User page opens, you will fill in the required fields, select a Role for your User and click Save.
