This is the place where the admin will create and manage user accounts. A user account is created by sending an invitation by email. Users can have different roles depending on their rights to use the platform.


About user roles

Admin

A user who has been assigned the administrator role can manage the organisation’s environment. The first administrator role for the organisation is created by the Open Badge Factory service administrator.


The admin user is responsible for the environment’s settings and user management. S/he creates and removes user rights and sets user roles. User roles can be admin, creator, or issuer. In addition to managing the environment, the admin user can also create and issue badges.

Creator

A creator is a user who has access to both Creator tools and Issuer tools. S/he can create, modify, and delete badges and images, criteria pages and e-mail templates related to badges. A creator can also issue badges and follow reports.

Issuer

An issuer is a user who has access to Issuer tools. S/he can issue badges designed by creators, and view reports related to issued badges.


Creating a new user account

If you send an invitation to new users, choose first their role (issuer, creator, or admin). After this, write their e-mail address in the Recipient e-mail field and click the Send invitation button.


You can optionally add invited user to sub-organisation categories (if existing in you account).
