This page describes how to add users to your operation.
Background
The InfoEx system has four types of users with increasing permission levels:
- User: Can enter observations and view InfoEx reports
- Observation moderator: Can submit observations to the InfoEx and execute workflows
- Operation administrator: Can modify location catalog, define InfoEx report templates and workflows, add and remove users from operation
- Super user (CAA only): Can administer the InfoEx and create new operations
Only Operation Administrators or Super Users can add, edit or delete users from a subscriber operation. See Description of user levels for a detailed description of the functionality accessible to the different user levels. Only Super Users have the credentials to create other Super Users.
