-
Phone Number (Optional) - The contact number of the user.
-
Customer - The company to which the user belongs. Leave the customer as 'Default Customer'.

-
Administrators - Can login to Xcitium and access all management interfaces. This role can be edited as required.
-
Technician - Can login to Xcitium and access all management interfaces. The technician role has fewer privileges than the administrator role. This role can be edited as required.
-
Login permission - Can login to Xcitium . Users with role cannot access any management interface by default. You can edit the role to assign access to required management interfaces.
-
Users - Cannot login to Xcitium. If required, you can change role permissions to have access to the admin console.
You can create custom roles which grant access to selected areas of Xcitium. These roles can be assigned to users as required. All roles created in Xcitium will appear in the 'Assign Role' drop-down when adding a new user. See online help page for Configure Role Based Access Control for Users for more details.
-
Click 'Submit' to add the user to Xcitium Enterprise.
The user is added to the 'Users' interface. The user's devices can be enrolled to Xcitium for management.

Repeat the process to add more users.
If you add a user with admin role then we will send them an account activation mail.
