Create and Manage Users

Context

You can create users in Demandbase individually or add users in bulk.

After you create a user, you can change their permission sets, department, or user view. You can also reset the user's password if you're not set up to use Single Sign On (SSO) for log in or delete the user.

Important: You cannot change a user’s login email address after creating the user. We recommend that you delete and recreate the user using the new login email address.

Prerequisites/Preparation

You must have Admin privileges. 

Steps: Create a User

2. In the window that opens, enter the following:

Total Usage

The Total Usage column shows the total number of clicks made in Demandbase over the past 14 days by each user. 

Authorized Email

Shows if the user authorized Demandbase to access their emails and calendar events. This option only applies if you’re not using an email service account for authorization.
