The User Admin activity allows you to manage your Users and their Roles. You can also define the Site(s) Users have access to.

The Activity is split into the following sections:

Introduction

A User is the individual. Each User has a unique log on. We recommend Users are set up using the first initial and last name of a user, ie Keith Smith's log on would be ksmith.

A Role is the set of Activities that a User has access to. There are default Roles already in Sigma, and new Roles can be added to suit the needs of your Users.

The Permission Management section is for updating Users who have restricted access to a selected Site(s). For example, a Headteacher may want access just to the Energy Viewer for their school and not the whole portfolio.
