Overview

The Users in versaSRS are those that will use and manage the application, there are several different types available that will control the level of access a User has in versaSRS.

Administrators can manage versaSRS Users by clicking on the Manage System Users icon in the versaSpinner - Administration Panel under the Administrators tab.

When creating a new User or managing an existing User the following screen is displayed. There are three tabbed sections where the User's details and configuration is input: Login Details, User Details, and Region and Timezone.

Once a User has been created they will need to be assigned to a Team and Skill Group(s) before they will be able to view and action Cases that come into the Team.

Users will also be able to manage their Profiles by clicking their User Icon in the Navigation Header and selecting Edit Profile.
