Create new user

MJA Updated by MJA

General

The Newbase subscription is based on the number of active users (named users). Creating a new user therefore incurs additional costs. Users who function as a department (only for correspondence) or users used solely for planning purposes are not included. See the "User checkboxes" widget for this information.
We advise against overwriting an existing user card (for example, a user who no longer works for the organization). All of this user's data will then be overwritten with the new username. Therefore, it is advisable to always create a new user card (for example, duplicate an existing user with the same role). The user card of a former employee can then be deactivated (check box inactive).
If a new user is going to email documents from Newbase, it is necessary to set this up properly and authorize the user (Chapter 4). It is also necessary that the user has the correct rights to save/modify files within your Sharepoint or Google Drive environment.

1. Creating a new user

You can create a new user in two ways:

1. Open the Users Newbase module > click on "New."

OR

2. Open the Users Newbase module > select an existing user that you want to duplicate into a new user > click on the 3 dots in the top right corner > choose "Create a copy."

You will now arrive at the "Edit input screen." Here you can navigate through the various widgets and fields and fill in all the required fields.

2. Which fields must you fill in?

It's best to navigate through all the tabs and widgets and fields and fill in all the requested information.

But be sure to fill in the following fields:

WIDGET DETAIL USERS

User Name:

This is the user's name as it will be displayed in the screens and dropdown lists. This name must be unique within the company.

Team & Team Manager:

If the user is part of a team, you can enter their name here, including the team manager's name.

Short Name:

This is the user's short name as displayed in the screens and dropdown lists. This name must be unique within the company.

Formal name:

This name is used in correspondence with the client and does not need to be unique.

Company:

If you work with multiple companies, you can see which company is set by default here. Access to companies is configured in a different widget.

Department:

Select a department.

Role:

Clicking the field displays a list of available roles, from which you can select one. A user can only belong to one role, not multiple. The role determines which widgets a user sees and what permissions the user has.

Language:

The language setting determines the language in which the user sees the Newbase screens. Within a Newbase environment, there could be users who work in different languages and also see the application displayed in different languages. The application is currently available in Dutch and English.

Email address:

This email address is required and will be used, among other things, for sending login details. If not filled in, no login details can be provided and logging in is not possible.

COMPANY ACCES WIDGET

Use this widget to grant user access. If you're working with multiple companies in Newbase, you can specify which companies the user has access to. The names you see are the company names. Edit and then the plus icon to add a company and click the trash can icon to remove company access.

If "Assign XCompany" is checked in the Owner module, all users will automatically be assigned all companies when logging back in to Newbase. If this checkbox is checked at the Owner level, you can skip entering access privileges.

3. Sending login details

4. Setting up email and authorization

If the user will also be sending email from Newbase, this needs to be configured.

It's best to check for a user with everything configured correctly.

6. File saving permissions

To save and open files from Newbase, the user must have the necessary permissions within the relevant environment, SharePoint or Google Drive. Newbase cannot do this.

How did we do?

Modify widgets (add, move, remove, resize)

Give permission to send message from or on behalf of another user
