Administrators can add users individually or import multiple users at once by 

  • Navigate to User Management.
  • Click Add User.
  • Select either:
    • Add Single User
    • Add Multiple Users

 

Add a Single User 

Use this option when creating an individual user account. To create a new user, click Add User.

    • Required for mobile-based access and email notifications.
  • Phone Number (Optional for card-only users)

  • Employee Code (Optional)
    • Enter the employee code, if applicable.
  • Joining Date (Optional)
    • Specify the user's joining date. By default, the current date is selected, but you can update it to reflect the employee's actual joining date, whether in the past or future.

 

Step 1.2: Select a Role

Assign the appropriate role for the user. Available roles include:

  • User
    • Standard role with basic access permissions. All newly created users are assigned this role by default.
  • Front Desk / Security
    • Intended for personnel managing visitor operations. Users with this role can perform Visitor Management System (VMS) activities such as visitor check-ins, check-outs, and visitor monitoring.
  • Manager
    • Can manage users assigned to them as direct reportees and access information relevant to their team, based on configured permissions.
  • Admin
    • Administrators have elevated permissions to manage users, access settings and system configurations. There are two types of administrator roles:
      • Site Admin - Has administrative access to manage users, permissions, and configurations within their assigned site(s) only. when assigning the Site Admin role, you must select the site or sites that the user will administer.
  • Super Admin - Has full administrative access across the organization, including all sites, users, permissions, and system configurations.

 

Step 1.3: Configure Additional Settings

Depending on your organization's requirements, you can:

  • Enable Mobile Access
  • Enable GPS Access
  • Mark the user as On Probation
  • Send Welcome Email or SMS notifications

 

Step 2: Assign Permissions

After completing basic details, click Next to move to Select Permissions.

Here, the admin can assign permissions to doors and access points like

  • Individual Doors
  • Lift Access
  • Lockers
  • Access Groups

Permissions can also be filtered site-wise for easier selection.

Once permissions are selected, click Save Changes to create the user.

 

After Creation

New users appear with a Pending status until they complete account activation. Once activated, the status changes to Complete.

 

Add Multiple Users 

Use bulk import to add multiple users at the same time.

1. Click Add User

2. Select Add Multiple Users

 

Step 1: Upload a File

  1. Choose the Home Site you want the users to be added in.

Note: Selecting Homesite is mandatory.

 

  1. Download the sample template and populate it with user information.This can be done by downloading the sample template file and filling in the user details or by directly uploading the user details file in the asked format by clicking on the browse files button. 

Use the provided template to upload multiple users in bulk. Ensure that all mandatory fields are populated in the correct format before uploading the file.

  1. Upload your own file containing user details.

 

Step 2: Map Columns

Match the columns in your file to the corresponding system fields. This step is especially useful if your file does not follow the provided template format. 

What does “Map the file columns to system fields” mean?

This means matching each column in your uploaded file with the correct field in the system.

For example:

  • Full Name → Map to Name column
  • Email → Map to Email field
  • Country Code → Map to Country Code
  • Contact Number → Map to Phone Number
  • Home Site Name → Map to assigned site
  • Employee Code → Optional employee identifier

Step 3: Configure Welcome Notifications

 

At this stage, the admin can choose whether to send:

  • Welcome Email
  • Welcome Text Message (SMS)
  • Both 
  • Neither

These welcome messages help verify user authenticity and ensure only authorized users gain access to the platform.

Important:
Enable these options only if you are sure the uploaded email addresses and phone numbers are valid.

Step 4: Assign Permissions 

Next, the admin can assign permissions to doors and access points like

  • Individual Doors
  • Lift Access
  • Lockers
  • Access Groups

Note: The selected permissions will be applied to all users included in the current import. 

Use the search bar or available filters to quickly find and select the required permissions based on site or access type.  Once the required permissions have been assigned, click Next to continue.

 

Step 5: Review and Save 

The final step displays a summary of all uploaded users.

Here, the admin can:

  • Review all imported user details
  • View assigned permissions
  • Edit user information if needed
  • Delete incorrect entries
  • Check for error messages

 

If there are issues (such as missing mandatory fields or incorrect mappings), the system will display an Error Message in red beside the affected user. 

Review imported records and resolve any validation errors before saving

  • Verify all mandatory fields are completed.
  • Ensure email addresses and phone numbers are accurate.
  • Review column mappings carefully.
  • Confirm assigned permissions.

 

Once everything is verified, click Save.
