Creating a New User:

To create a new user, click the User Management button; click the Create User link. The Create User page will appear and you will need to fill in all the information boxes with bold labels.

Create User Profile

You must select a unique user ID for any new user, along with a password challenge prompt and response. This will enable the new user to use the Forgot Password? link. Ask the new user to choose this information.

You must also assign a role to a new user. Descriptions of each role are provided. To assign a role, highlight the role you wish to add and click Add, the role shows in the Assigned Roles list.

Role Selection

Roles define what features a user may access when using ECS. When assigning a role, do not give Delegated Administrator privileges to another user. Each employer group should only have one Delegated Administrator.

Once you have completed the information on this page, click Submit.

The confirmation page will now load, and the temporary password assigned by the system will be displayed.

Confirmation Page

You must note the password from this page so that you can give it to the new user. This is the only time it will be displayed. This is a one-time use password, and will only be valid for the user's first login. At which time, he or she will be prompted to choose a permanent password.
