🧭 Navigating to the Users Tab

  1. On the left-hand side of the screen, scroll down to the bottom and click your name.

  2. In the menu that appears, click Users.

    • This opens the Admin Portal, where you can manage users and organize regions (also called organizational units).


➕ Creating a New User

  1. In the Admin Portal, go to the bottom right-hand corner and click Create New User.

  2. Enter the email address of the new user.

    • You can also enter multiple email addresses if you want to assign the same permissions to several users at once.

  3. Select a role for the user:

    • General User

  4. Assign region access:

Once created, the system automatically sends an activation email from notifications@pattern.com to the new user.


✉️ User Activation

  • When a user receives the activation email and logs in, their status in the user list changes from Pending to Active.

  • If a user doesn’t receive their activation email, you can resend it by clicking the three dots (…) next to their name and choosing Resend Activation Email.

To change a user’s role or region access:

  1. Click Edit Profile next to the user’s name.

  2. Update their role or region settings as needed.

Note: The user will need to log out and back in for the new permissions to take effect.


🚫 Deactivating or Deleting a User

If you need to remove a user’s access:

  1. Click the three dots (…) next to Edit Profile.
