ARMATURE Fabric users are granted login privileges. This article covers how to create a Person Profile and link the Person Profile to a Security User account.

Important Items to Note:

• Contacts in the system with Person Profile accounts are NOT required to be a user.
• In order for a Person to have login ability, the Person Profile must be linked to the Security User account.
• In order for a staff member to follow the instructions below, they must have the appropriate permissions/security settings.
• User permissions are dependent on Security Settings. Security Settings can be found in Setup > Security >Security Roles

If person doesn't have an existing person profile:

1. Go to People menu.

2. Click +button to create new Person Profile.

3. Enter the First Name, Last Name, and Primary Email of user.

4. Check the flag to “Create this Person as a User”

5. Click Next.

6. If you would like the user to receive an email about their new account, make sure you select the "Send an email to this user regarding their new account" option. 

7. If appropriate, select the Groups and Roles.

8. Complete the additional information, if required or appropriate.

9. Click Save.

The Person Profile will then be saved and if you selected the flag to send an email to the user about their new account, the system will email the user. The user will need to open the email and access the link to set their password.

At the time of saving the Person Profile, the system creates a Security User account. This is where you can modify the security settings and send the reset password email to the user, in the event they don't receive the newly-created account email and/or forgot their login.

The Security User accounts can be found by going to Setup > Security > Security Users.
