Need to onboard a new team member? You can easily create a new user in Next Plus through the User Configuration screen. Just make sure you have the right permissions — this action is only available to Editors and System Administrators.


🧭 Step 1: Open the User Creation Form

  1. Go to Settings > Users > User Configuration

  2. Click the red ➕ button in the top-right corner of the screen

  3. The Create User form will open


📝 Step 2: Fill Out User Information

You’ll now see a form where you can input all the key details for the new user.

Required Fields:

  • Email – The user’s login and contact email

  • Username – Unique ID used for logging in

  • First Name / Last Name – For identification in the system

  • Permissions – Choose a role (e.g., Operator, Editor, Sysadmin)

Optional (but recommended):

  • Phone Number – Required if you want to enable SMS-based features

  • Profile Image – Helps identify users quickly

  • Manager – Assign a reporting line

  • Employee Number – For internal reference

  • Set Password – If you want to assign a specific password manually

  • Stations, Groups, and Work Station – To assign the user to specific parts of the system

  • Time Zone, Date & Time Format – Useful for global teams

🔹 You can also enable:

  • Media Auto Load – Automatically loads media in operator screens

  • Digest Emails – Send regular summary emails to the user


🧪 Optional: API Access & Approval Popups

If needed, check:

  • API – Grants API access for integrations

  • Display time log approval popups – Useful for supervisors or timekeeping workflows


💾 Step 3: Save the User

Once everything looks good, click the Save button in the bottom-right corner. The user will be created and added to your team instantly.


🔐 Who Can Create Users?

Only users with Editor or System Admin roles will see the red ➕ button and be able to access this screen.

If you don’t see the option to create a new user, check your permission level or contact your system admin.


✅ Summary

Creating a new user is quick and flexible. Just open the User Configuration screen, hit the ➕, and fill in the form with as much detail as you like. Assign the right role, choose the correct station and group, and your new team member is ready to go!
