How to Add a New Admin to your Pelican Web-App

Note: To add or delete a user from your Pelican Web-App you must be an Administrator.

Log into your Pelican Web-App and select the Admin icon.
Select User Management.
Select the + icon on the bottom right corner of the User Management screen.
Type in the Name of the new person you will be adding to the Site under User Name.
Type in the Email Address of the new person you will be adding to the Site under Email Address.
A notification will appear letting you know an email has been sent to the new user. Select Ok to confirm.

Note: If you entered the incorrect email address the new user will be unable to set up their access password. You can change the email address anytime by editing the Email Address field and a new email will be sent to the correct email address.

To change this person from a User to an Admin, select the Access Rights field.
Next, select Admin.

How to Change the Admin’s User Settings

Log in to your Pelican Web-App and select the Admin icon.
Select User Management.
Select the Admin whose User Settings are to be changed.
Set the User Settings, as desired.

Log Out: For security and convenience, Pelican allows you to configure when this Admin will be automatically logged out of the Pelican Web-App when they exit the app.

Note: There is a Log Out button in the Pelican Web-App where the Admin can always manually log out of the system.

Automated Log Out options are:

On Exit: Selecting this option will log the Admin out of the Pelican Web-App every time they close their browser.
After 1 Day: Selecting this option will log the Admin out of the Pelican Web-App one (1) day after they accessed the app.
After 30 Days: Selecting this option will log the Admin out of the Pelican Web-App 30 days after they accessed the app.
Never: Selecting this option means the app will keep them logged in.

Subscription Access: Set to Yes to allow the Admin to see the subscription level, credits, and when subscription is due for your Pelican Web-App. Only Admins can view the Pelican Subscription section, but Admins can be restricted from this section.
Receive Email Notifications: Set to Yes to allow the Admin will receive system notifications via email. Enter their email address.
Receive Text Notifications: Set to Yes to allow the Admin to receive a text when a system notification occurs. Enter their phone number (with area code) and select the carrier of their cellular plan from the drop-down menu.
Tip: Select No at any time to stop receiving Notifications.
OpenADR Access: This will only show up if the site is configured for an OpenADR program and you want to manage whether the Admin can get to the OpenADR section of the Pelican Web-App.
