Setup & Settings: How do I create or add a new user?

There are 2 ways to create users:

1. Create New User:

  • Allows you to manually create a new user who has never been part of the organisation and who has not used BlueSky or the People Development platform previously.

  • You can choose to send an activation email immediately or later.

  • This method allows you to set new users up in advance without the involvement of the individual. 

ℹ️ Creating a new user this way wont automatically send an activation email. You must choose when you'd like to send the activation email before saving.

2. Add User:

  • Allows you invite a user who has used BlueSky or the People Development platform previously in a different organisation, reinstate a returning member of staff to your organisation, or add a user who has been mistakenly removed from your organisation.

  • This option will send an invite via email (valid for 24 hours) prompting the user to login. The invite can be re-sent if the 24 hour window is missed.

ℹ️ When the individual accepts the invite the user is added to the organisation. You do not need to send an activation email.
