    1. Create Users

    • Go to ADMIN > USERS & STAFF > MANAGE LAB MEMBERS.
    • You can add the basic details for the user and create New Lab Member.

    • Now you can give the user specific permission. see section 2

    2. Manage users: Add permission levels

    • Go to ADMIN > USERS & STAFF -> MANAGE USERS.
    • 1. Click on New User.
    • 2. Add the details and assign a username and password for the user.
      You can connect the user lab member created in section 1 by typing the name in ‘Real person’ field.
      You can even assign a person to the group if you have already created a group.
      *Please see our Knowledgebase to see about group policies.
    • For each user, you can choose between 6 user level permissions. You can click on small to see what each user level permission has to offer.

      *NOTE: Once you have assigned a super administrator, that user-level option will not be available anymore for other users in the drop-down. There can be only one super administrator in one LabCollector instance.
    • Once you are done you can click on ‘Create New User’.
    • Repeat this step for all users.
    • You can also see the details about how many users you can create the login for.

    3. Remove Users

    • Go to ADMIN > USERS & STAFF > MANAGE USERS.

    • You can remove/archive a user by clicking on the small trash icon on the right-hand side end.
    • While archiving a user, you can have 2 options:
      • 1. You can choose to archive the Real person (created as a lab member), by clicking the checkbox. If you check the checkbox the lab member will move to hidden contacts. See section 4
      • 2. You cannot archive associated contact (real person) for users that already have records in their name,

    In this case, you can always archive/hide the associated contact if you first transfer the data from this person to another one under ADMIN > Data > Transfer data and then archive the lab member under ADMIn > Users & staff > Manage lab members.

    • Alternatively, you can lock a user ID by clicking on the lock icon . This results in the user being locked out of LabCollector and is a reversible action. 
    • You can also see the list of archived users, by clicking the ‘Show archived Users (At list’s End)’.

    4. Reactivate Users

    • ADMIN -> USERS & STAFF -> MANAGE LAB MEMBERS.
    • Click on the ‘Hidden/Old Lab Members’ to see the archived lab members.
    • You can reactivate the member click on ‘Reactivate’.
    Note
    Old lab personnel profiles can be removed but not deleted to ensure traceability and quality compliance.
