The users module allows you to customize access to various scorecard features and data sets
The Users module is responsible for adding and maintaining user accounts and access to your Clear Impact Scorecard site. The number of users you can have is limited by your licensed user count on the Billing tab (Visible to Instance Admins only).
1. The Add New User button allows you to create new users. If no licenses are available you will not be able to add a new user until you upgrade your account or make an existing user inactive
2. The Add Existing User button allows you to add a user who already has a Clear Impact Scorecard account with another organization
3. The edit button allows you to change user options and reset their password. The dropdown arrow also gives you the option to deactivate a user.
4. The search function allows you to quickly search for a user to edit
Add a New User
To add a new user to your Clear Impact Scorecard site:
1. Select the Add New User button from the Users list page.
2. Fill out the Email address, First Name, and Last Name of the user. Make sure to double check that the Email Address is correct since this will be the username the person logs in with and receives their credentials at.
3. Select the appropriate access control. You can use one of the quickset buttons to speed up the process and then customize from there. For an explanation of each role click on the question mark next to the item or see the complete list below.
4. Select the appropriate scorecards that the user should be able to access. This tab does not appear if the user is given the "All Scorecards" user role. Note - if a user has access to a scorecard then they will also have access to view or edit (depending on their access control) all the scorecard objects that are on that scorecard. The scorecard object lists will also be filtered to only give the user access to content placed on the scorecards they have access to. If a scorecard object is not on a scorecard the user will not be able to view or edit that object.
5. When you are done select the Save button. When a user is successfully saved an email will be sent to the user with their login credentials. If they do not receive the email within 10 minutes have them check their spam filter for an email coming from no-reply@clearimpact.com.
Edit a User
To edit a user select the edit button next to the user's name on the user list. From the edit page you can reset the user's password, mark them as inactive, change their scorecard access, and update their access privileges. For additional details on each of those see the appropriate section of this article.
Delete/Deactivate a User
You cannot delete a user in Clear Impact Scorecard since they may be assigned Actions, Tasks, etc as well as have commentary and other edits throughout the software. Clear Impact Scorecard must maintain a log of their activity and therefore cannot be fully deleted. If you wish to remove a user from your instance you can deactivate them. Deactivated users will not be able to log in to Clear Impact Scorecard and do not count against your licensed users. You can have as many deactivated users on your instance as needed. To deactivate a user, follow these steps.
1. Navigate to Admin --> Users
2. Select the dropdown arrow for the user's record
3. Select Deactivate
Reset User Password
There are two ways to reset a user's password. The first way can be done through the administration/users page. And the second is using the forgot password button on the login page.
Administrator Method
1. Navigate to Admin --> Users
2. Select the dropdown arrow for the user's record
3. Select Reset Password
4. The temporary password will then be emailed to the user and be displayed on the screen so you can copy the password and give it to them if there is a problem with emails being received.
End User Method
1. On the Clear Impact Scorecard login page select the forgot password button
2. Enter your username
3. An email will then be emailed to the user with a new password
