Create New User

The instructions below are for setting up a new user in DPF. Users will be able to access to DPF and EzyPO with the same login credentials.

To prime the user creation, please ensure that the System Defaults have been set up as per our guide here For every value set in the System Defaults, new users will have these settings automatically applied, which will reduce the amount of manual work to set up each user.

Users with Admin accounts can set up new users in a production. To create an Admin account, please contact Customer Support, or another Administrator can create this account for you. User Guide:

NOTE: Some users will already have access to another production that uses the same Company ID. Make sure the user is set up in the new production using the same User Login name. This will link the accounts so the user can access both productions under the same account and won’t need to remember different passwords for each. In this case, you will not need to send an email invite from the new production. If the email invite is sent, the user’s password will be reset for both productions.

NOTE: you can use the import / paste in method if preferred. See the user guide here:

Save the received User Setup Form file to the EzyPO folder within its corresponding Sharepoint Production folder.

From the left-hand side navigation, go to Setup > User Setup

From the left-hand side search box, type in the name of the user to make sure they don’t already have an account

 

On the top right-hand side, click the plus button to create a new user

 

Select the User Type that you are creating:

Buyer: Creates the transactions. Can edit and send for approval.

Buyer/Approver: Combination role. Can perform both Buyer and Approver duties.

Approver: Approves transactions sent to them. Some editing options available if enabled.
