Create a User

There are two ways to create users:

Manually: When creating users manually, each user must be individually created.
With a template: When creating users with a template, multiple users can be created at the same time.

Create a User Manually

To create a user manually, do the following:

Go to the Administration > User Management > Users tab.
Click the Create User button.

On the Create User Profile > General page, do the following:

Enter general information about the user:

Field Name The value of any fields with a red background cannot be changed after the user account is created.	Description
First Name	Enter the first name of the user.
Last Name	Enter the last name of the user.
Default Language	Select a language option for the user. By default, the language is set to American English.
Email	Enter the email address of the user.
Optional Phone Number	Optional: Enter the phone number of the user.
Type	Select the user account type: Agency: A user that works directly for the advertising agency in some way. For example, as a media planner or buyer. Agency users do not have access to Vendor Inbox. Seller: A user that works for the advertising agency's internal trade desk, if any. Seller users have access to Vendor Inbox.
Optional Job Title	Enter the job title of the user. This field is for internal reference only.
Username	Enter a username for the user. If desired, select the Use the same email option to set the username to the user's email address
Valid From	Select the date from which the user is active. User accounts can be created without immediately being active, enabling administrators to create users in advance.
Optional Valid To	Optional: Select the date until which the user is active.
Optional Finance Initials	Enter the finance initials of the user. The finance initials of a user that makes a change that creates a new financial order version—for example, changing the start or end dates of a schedule—are included in the message sent by OneStrata to the finance system.
