Adding a User

Administrators can create user accounts directly from the User section of MagicINFO Server. Each account belongs to an organization and a user group, and its role determines which parts of the server the user can access.

Create the account

1. Sign in to the MagicINFO Server web interface.

2. Click User in the menu bar on the left side of the screen.

   

3. The user list shows the accounts that already exist. Click Add User above the list.

   

4. Complete the Add User dialog. Fields marked with an asterisk are required:

   • Basic Information — user ID, password (entered twice), user name, and e-mail address. A mobile phone number and telephone number are optional.
   • Organization Information — the organization, user group, and role for the account. Team and position are optional.

   

5. Click Save. The new account appears in the user list.
