Overview

Users are a way to create roles for an account that have varying permissions. Users are also appointed an "access level" which determines if the created user has access to the current accounts within the buzz key, all accounts, or current accounts with selectable account groups. When a new user is created under a buzz key, an email will then be sent to the provided email address, and the recipient will be asked to verify their email and define a password for use with the platform. Once this step is complete, the account will activate and the user will be able to log into the platform with the created email and password combination.


Accessing Users

To access the Users page, navigate to Admin > Users at the top of the screen in Beeswax. Additionally, account groups may be created by clicking the button, then clicking User at the top right of the UI.
