        Add a New Dashboard User

        Before adding a new dashboard user, you must have created its associated user group. See Section 3.5.1 for instructions. 

        1. First, check you are in Rayven Workspace and have selected your desired solution.
        2. Navigate to Dashboard Users and select 'Edit group' from the icon on the far right.
        3. Select 'Add a new user'.
        4. Enter the first and last name of your new user.
        5. Enter the user's primary email address. They will enter this email address to log in.
        6. Set a user password. It must be at least 8 characters long and include at least one upper case character, one lower case character, and one special character.
        7. Select the permission level for your user. All users can change their time zone and password from the drop-down menu in the top right of their dashboard. See the breakdown of permission levels below for more information. 
        8. You can use the drop-down menu to change the user's User Group.
        9. You also have the option to provide an email address and/or telephone number for sending alerts to the user. 
        10. Finally, select if the user has permission to arrange widgets on the dashboard. We recommend only enabling this for the dashboard manager.
        11. After clicking save, you can view your new dashboard user under 'Users List'.
