    Staff User Configuration

    This information is not applicable to Primo VE environments. For more details on Primo VE configuration, see Primo VE.
    The Manage Staff Users page (Primo Home > Ongoing Configuration Wizards > Staff Configuration Wizard) is the opening page of the Staff Configuration wizard. It enables you to manage staff users and to assign specific roles to staff users. For each staff user, use the wizard to assign the appropriate role and enter the staff user's name and contact information.

    For further instructions, see the following sections:

    Creating Staff Users

    The Manage Staff Users page allows you to add and delete staff users or update configuration information for existing staff users.
    For single institution configurations in an on-premises installation, it is recommended to create staff users at the installation level, not the institution level. This will ensure that staff users (as allowed per role) can work with both configuration levels.
    If you want to change the configuration level of an existing staff user, you must create a new staff user record.
    To create a staff user:
    1. In the Create a New Staff Member area on the Manage Staff Users page, enter your staff user's information (see Create a New Staff User Details for a list of fields).
      Create a New Staff User Details
      Field name Description
      Login Name
      The staff user's internal ID code used to log into the system.
      Display Name
      The name of the staff user as displayed on screen.
      Owner
      Select the configuration level for the new user.
      Only staff users who are assigned either the Admin or Superadmin role are permitted to add new users.
      For installation-level staff users who are assigned either the Superadmin or Admin roles, the valid values are the institution names and the installation name.
      For institution-level staff users who are assigned the Admin role, the system will pre-select your institution and allow you to add staff users to your institution only.
      Role
      The staff user's role or level of authorization within the system. For more details concerning staff privileges, see Staff User Role Privileges.
      If the user's role is set to Reporting, the user only has access to the Primo Reports page of the Back Office. All other roles have full access to the Back Office functionality.
      For more information on staff user roles, see Staff Users.
      Password
      The staff user's password used to log into the system.
      Confirm Password
      Confirmation of the password, used to ensure the password is valid.
      Address
      The staff user's home address.
      Email
      The staff user's e-mail address.
      Work Phone
      A phone number where the staff user can be reached at work.
      Home Phone
      The staff user's home phone number.
      Mobile Phone
      The staff user's mobile phone number.
    2. Click Create.
      The new staff user appears in the View Staff Users list. You can now edit the staff user's details using the instructions in Editing Staff Users. If necessary, you can delete a staff member using the instructions in Deleting Staff Users.

    Editing Staff Users

    You can change the staff users user names and passwords every once in a while for extra security. You can edit a staff user's personal details if a staff user's role or address changes.
    For on-premises customers you must create a new staff user record if you want to change the configuration level of an existing staff user.
    To edit staff user details:
    1. In the View Staff Users list, click Edit next to the staff user that you want to edit.
      The Manage Staff Users page opens.

    2. Edit the staff user personal attributes (see Create a New Staff User Details for a list of fields).
    3. Click Save & Continue.
      The staff user's details are updated and appear in the View Staff Users list on the Manage Staff Users page (see Manage Staff Users Page).

    Deleting Staff Users

    You can delete any staff users from the staff users list if they are no longer needed.
    If you are an institution-level staff user, you can only delete users who belong to your institution.
    To delete a staff user:
    1. In the View Staff Members list, click Delete next to the staff user that you want to delete.
      A confirmation dialog box opens.
    2. Click OK.
      The staff user details are deleted from the system, and the staff user name is removed from the Institution List.

    Changing Staff User Passwords

    You can change a staff user's password on the Edit Staff User Personal Attributes page.
    To change a staff user's password:
    1. On the Edit Staff User Personal Attributes page, click Change Password to display the Change Password dialog box.
