Create New Users

Follow these steps to create a new ACAS user (you must have the Conference Administrator, Union Administrator, Division Administrator or System Administrator role to create new users).

1. Go to the Admin menu, then click Users.

2. Click on the New button. 
   
   

   Open

   

3. Enter the following details: 

   • Given Name

   • Surname

   • Phone

   • Email

   • Job Title

4. For existing System Administrators only:

   If the user is to be a System Administrator, tick the System Administrator check box. Then skip to step 7.

5. Click the New button to add the organization and role. 

6. Select the desired Role and Organisation. Click Update once completed. Note that the combination of Role and Organisation selected must be valid, e.g. Local Church Treasurer role with a church as the Organisation.
   
   

   Open

   

   
   Another Role and Organisation can be added if required. The menu items will automatically update based on the organisation selected. 

7. Click Save. This will send an activation email to the user so they can activate their account. 

   Users have 3 days to activate their email before it expires. If it expires then the activation email can be re-sent and users will have to activate from the second email. 

If a pop-up warning appears titled "Email already exists", it means a user with that email address already exists. The record may be inactive or have roles in an entity that you don't have access to. If the name and email address are for the same user, click Yes to add roles to the existing record, as a duplicate record may not be created. After saving the changes, you may need to make the record active if you do not see it in the list of active users.

Once a user record has been saved, the Attachments tab will appear. Click on that if an attachment needs to be added to the user record.
