Overview

TMC and their clients can manually create accounts with appropriate permissions. User profiles can be created through the Deem Partner Dashboard with appropriate permissions. For more information, see Partner Dashboard/Console Admin Permissions.

Profiles can be created through the following options, please select links for further information.

Note: If you creating users through an HR feed or Web Services, DO NOT create profiles manually. Manually creating profiles with these services enabled may result in inaccurate profiles, overwritten data, or deactivated user accounts.

Manually Create User Profiles

To manually create a user profile for a new account:

  1. From the Partner Dashboard home page of the site you want to modify, select the Users tab.
    Note: You may only have access to the Users tab depending on permissions granted.

  2. Select the Add a New User link to display the Add a New User page.

Account Information

  1. Test users only. Select Support Account if the account is a test user. This setting:

    • Saves the account from being deactivated if it is configured for an HR feed or Web Services.

    • Excludes the account from Deem reports.

  2. Do not select the Guest User check box. This field is not currently used.

  3. In User Name, enter the user identifier that the end user will enter when they sign on.

    • User names must contain only characters (a-z, A-Z), digits (0-9),and special characters: . ,@, - or _. The length must be between 1 and 64 characters.

    • Typically, an email address is entered for the user name. However, the user name can be another identifier such as an Employee ID. If single sign on (SSO) is enabled for a company, the company User ID can be used.

  4. In External ID, enter a unique identifier for the end user.
    Typically, the External ID is that same as the User Name. However, if there is a possibility that the User Name may change in the future, it is recommended choose an External ID that will not change, such as an Employee ID. For example, a static External ID that is different from the User Name may make updates easier and more precise for HR feeds and expense tools.

  5. In Email, enter the end user’s email address.

  6. The Groupware ID field automatically fills in the address entered in the Email field. The Groupware ID much match the user’s email address.

  7. Optional. Select a Title for the user from the list.
