User Management
The User Management
screen can only be accessed by the site administrator. The administrator uses this screen to assign roles to site users. The role determines what data the user will have access to. The term "user"
refers to Voluntary staff members, not volunteers. Once you assign a new primary station to a user, only the user administrator at the new station can edit that user's personal data. Roles, however, can still be added and removed.
To create a new
Voluntary Service user in the VSS System
- Enter the information
for the following fields.
- Last Name, First Name, Middle Name
or Initials
- Domain\NT User Name -
Enter the domain name followed by a backslash and then the full
NT user name (e.g., VHAMASTER\VHAAREALASTNAMEF)
- E-mail Address
- Select your
site's name from the Primary Station dropdown list.
- Highlight one
of the roles listed in the Roles box and click the
right arrows to assign it to the new user.
The assigned role will appear in the Current Roles box.
You can repeat this step to assign more than one role to a single user, if applicable. If you make
a mistake, highlight the role you want to delete in the Current Roles box and
click the left arrows. The role will disappear from the Current Roles box.
- When all of
the information appears correct, click the Post button to enter it into the database.
