Overview

Adeptia Connect is a platform that enables seamless collaboration between businesses. To maintain security and control over who can access the platform, user management is crucial. Admins can invite new users by sending invitations to their email addresses. Once invited, users can accept and register to gain access. Roles, such as "Admin," "User," or "Guest," determine the level of access and permissions granted to each user. To streamline the process of adding multiple users, admins can utilize bulk import functionality, where a list of user information can be uploaded to create accounts efficiently. By effectively managing user invitations, roles, and bulk imports, organizations can ensure that only authorized individuals have access to the Adeptia Connect platform, maintaining its security and integrity.

Summary

The user management process in Adeptia Connect encompasses the invitation of users and the bulk addition of multiple users. To invite users, one must navigate to the Users section under Account and send invitations by providing the respective email addresses and assigning the appropriate roles. Additionally, it is possible to customize the message in the invitation and specify a reply-to email address. Once the invitation is dispatched, the user will receive an email to activate their account. Following activation, they will appear in the Users section with an active status. The system allows for monitoring the status of invitations and provides the option to resend them if necessary.

For the bulk addition of users, Adeptia Connect facilitates the importation of user data via a CSV file. To execute this, navigate to Users and select Import Users, then upload the CSV file containing the user details. The system will process the import, and once completed, the newly added users will be listed as active in the Users section. This method effectively streamlines the management of both individual and bulk user registrations within the system.
