Users

A User in Critical Labs is anyone who has received an invitation into the application and has created a profile. Each user is assigned to at least one company and given permissions that allow them to do various things throughout the application. 

Viewing Users

To view a list of Users, make sure you have selected the appropriate Company, then open the Navigation Menu and select Users. Here you will see a table that displays all of the users that are associated with the company and which permissions they have been given.

 

Adding Users

To add a new user, click the Add button to the far right of Users.

You will be prompted to enter the new user's email address, then click Invite. An email containing a sign-up link will be sent to the new user which will grant access to the Company from which the invitation was sent.
