3. Adding a Syndicate User
Initially, when viewing the 'Admin' Tab, you will find a table with the active users for the account. Start by clicking on 'Add User'.
Add A New user
User Type: Select 'Standard'.
Username: This must be unique to your account. You will not be able to reuse usernames if one already exists.
Password: Enter a temporary password; in the following steps, you will send login information and require a new password to be created on the next login.
Company: Select the syndicate company that was added in the previous steps.
Click the "Save User" button at the bottom to transition to the user edit page to finish the setup.
Double check the username is set as you wish, and re-enter the temporary password (it does not need to be the same as initially entered if you've forgotten).
User Login Information
Now, you will be taken to the user edit screen to add some additional information before the user can log in. Double check the username is set as you wish, and re-enter the temporary password (it does not need to be the same as initially entered if you've forgotten). In the 'User Role' dropdown, you will select the hardcoded (discounted role) 'Syndicate Reporting' role from the dropdown. Lastly, you must check both boxes, 'Require Password Change At Next Login' and 'Email Login Info.' All other fields in this section are optional and unnecessary when saving a user.
Contact Information
Make sure to add all of the required fields. These fields are the 'First Name*' and 'Last Name*' and 'Email*' addresses of the syndicate user.
Click 'Save User'.
Now that we have entered all the information for the user, we can send the login information via email and require the user to create a unique password when they log in next by clicking on 'Save User.'
Now, you should be able to add this syndicate company to a deal they are participating on.
