Adding New Employees
Only users with Sys-Admin or Super Company Admin access can complete the following action.
During implementation, the Catalyser team works with your IT team to determine the criteria and assist in setting up your user provisioning options. User provisioning allows your company to automatically create, authenticate, activate, update and disable user accounts for your employees.
Alternatively, if user provisioning has not been set up or is not an option for your company, Super admins can add new employees in the following.
