Click New User and follow the steps below to invite a staff member to create a BEACON account.
TIP: Users who need access to both BEACON and EyeOnWater must use unique email addresses for each system. If someone has a gmail account, they can easily add a “label” to the email address so that, for example, name+utility@gmail and name@gmail can be used to log in to BEACON and EyeOnWater, respectively.
- Enter the user’s full name, email address (required) and, if desired, phone number.
- Use the drop-down menu to choose a role. Predefined roles include Admin, Support, Installer and Manager. Custom Roles created using the Roles tab will also be displayed. The table below describes the permissions granted to each predefined role.
- Click Invite User to complete the process. Click Cancel to start over.
