InformerOnline offers the ability to create multiple users under one account.

The advantage of this is that you can assign each user their own restrictions. The user will only have access to the part of the administration they are authorized for.

When creating an employee, for example, for recording their hours, a user must be created. There is no special 'hour registration employee' option.

Important: The number of users you can create for free depends on your subscription. Therefore, first check how many users are included in your subscription. Do you want more users and is this not included in your subscription? Then you need to upgrade to a higher package.

Add a new user

To create a new user, follow the steps below:

  1. Navigate to Settings in the left-hand menu;

  2. Choose Users and click on New;

    1. If there’s no New button, it means you’ve reached the maximum number of users for your subscription. You’ll need to upgrade to add more users;

  3. Fill in the required details;

  4. Save to create the user.

Note: After saving, the new user will receive an email with the login details!

After saving, several tabs will become available, each offering different options.

Security and login details Tab

The Security and Privacy tab offers several important options:

  • Change the user’s username and password.

  • Adjust security settings for logging in from a new IP address.

  • For your own user profile:

Profile Picture Tab

The profile picture tab allows you to add a profile picture. This will be used for the user.

Employment Tab

The Employment tab provides options such as:

  • Job Title.

  • Start Date.

  • End of Employment: Activate this when the user is no longer employed. This will stop the user from being billed by Informer and will disable their login access.

Rights Tab

The Permissions tab allows you to define the type of user:

  • Administrator: This user type has full permissions.

  • Accountant: This is a free user type intended for accountants or bookkeepers. They also have full permissions.

  • Employee: This user type can be customized. You can set specific rights for the employee.

    • Grant access to one or more administrations.

    • Grant access to certain functionalities or specific sections within functionalities.

      • Options: Per 1, 5, 10, 15, or 30 minutes.

    • Invoicing: If logged hours should be billed by default, activate this setting.

    • Show Stopwatch: If using time tracking, this enables the stopwatch feature to simplify logging hours.

You can also set the system’s behavior after saving an item, such as an invoice. Options include:

  • Go to Preview: To immediately view the document.
