Add "Read Only" users to OnBoardGOV

You can give anyone access as “read only” so they can’t mess things up. In the left-hand navigation panel, scroll down and click Manage Users.

Now at the top right you click the blue button labeled Add New User. You can only create a Municipal User so choose that.

Fill out the basic information (email address as password is recommended) noting that the fields marked with a red asterisk are required, everything else is optional. The check boxes for Enabled and Force user to change password on next login should remain checked. Make sure that you have to note the password you use and send it to the new user.

Now, under Permissions, check the box for Access Reports. Choosing that with no other boxes selected will give the person you create the ability to login, run reports, see all the info but not make any changes.
