Create a User

IMPORTANT: When adding a new user in FileRun, please use an email address for both the username and email. Additionally, please always check the box for "Notifications." This will ensure they can do a password reset without having to contact you.

Additionally, the system is not designed to email the new user their credentials. It's best that the email comes directly from you. Please DO NOT check the box for "Send a notification now." See screenshot:

Email template for new users

This is the email template I'd like to standardize when informing a Resource Center user of their new account. I've been sending these email via Outlook as the system does not have a robust messaging system for new users. Note: Please replace anything with the brackets with their user details created within FileRun.
