4. Enter the name, email address, password and confirm the password

5. Click the Add button.

Once the user is created, you will need to assign:

  1. RPS User Type - the User Type will determine the permissions that the user has in RPS:

Read Only

Management

Admin

  • View product data

  • View product data

  • Hide/Unhide Columns

  • Create Price Tags

  • Manage Site Settings

  • User Management

    • Can update RPS users that are Read Only

    • Can view Management or Admin users

    • Can view Permission Profiles but cannot add or change profiles

  • View product data

  • Hide/Unhide Columns

  • Create Price Tags

  • Manage Site Settings

  • User Management

    • Can update all users in any role

    • Can update Permission profiles

  • Create Models and Update Pricing

2. Default Location - The default location is the location the salesperson will be writing business from - If a salesperson works in multiple locations, leave Default Location blank when creating the User. This will prompt the salesperson to select a location when creating a Quote or Order.

3. Default Technician - The default technician setting links the technician to that user for commission purposes. So if RPS user Chris is linked to default technician Chris Technician, and Set Technician as Default Salesperson is enabled, all service requests assigned to technician Chris Technician will be listed under Chris in the commission report

Once the RPS user is added, there are additional permissions that can be applied to the user.

Once a user is assigned to a POS profile, you will see which permissions are tied to the POS Profile.
