Select 'Send' within the popup window.

 

The administrator will receive an email with a link to create their portal account.

New Administrator

Select the 'New Administrator' button from the top of the page.

At a minimum, you will need to input the administrator's email address and password.

The password complexity requirements are as follows:

  • Minimum length of 9 characters
  • 1 capital letter
  • 1 lowercase letter
  • 1 number
  • 1 special character (e.g. %,*,@)

 

 

You can select the checkbox next to 'Notify on Request' for this account allowing the email address to receive an email for all requests.

You can set up a passwordless pin for the new administrator if desired. Input the administrator's phone number. Specify a 4 - 8 digit PIN code. You will need to provide this PIN to the administrator.

You can also add a cell phone number for SMS dual-factor authentication.

When complete, select the 'Save' button in the top left corner.
