The Auto Users Tab saves you time by automatically adding user IDs to a specific dashboard when a new location is configured in the Locations Module. For facilities teams managing multiple brands, users are automatically added based on the brand that is configured in the location note. 

Service Automation runs an overnight process to see whether new locations were created and whether new users were created for those locations. It will also search for a brand to see if it is associated with that location. If a new location is found and no users were created for that location, the Auto User auto user process will create users. However, if a new location is created and an a user id was created for that location, the auto user process will not run and it will not automatically create a user id. The Auto Users Tab will only create a user id for a dashboard user ids. 

List of Setting under the Auto Users Tab

• Brand: Should you want to configure Auto Users auto users based off of your brand location note header, you can add the brand name in the Brand textbox. 
• Prefix: The User ID must go into this textbox. This is a required field. Without the User ID, the Auto Users functionality will not work. Adding the beginning name of the new location. 
• Copy email: When checked, the email address listed under the contact section on the location's detail page is added as the email address for the user id when one is created.

Configuring Auto Users without Brands

For a single brand, you only need to enter a prefix.  This prefix will append to the location number to create a user id. For example, Cajun Soul Restaurant has the prefix CSR. A new location, 035 was created. When the Auto Users process runs, the result is the user id for this location is now CSR035. 

When a new users are user is created, you will see them listed a list with user id and email address in Service Automation adminAdmin. See See Viewing Auto Users in the Permission Module (anchor), below, for more information. 

Configuring Auto Users with Brands

When adding a new user id for a brand, you have to create a location note header named Brand. Once the brand header is established, you will add brand name under location notes.

For multiple brands, you will need both the brand and prefix. This prefix will append to the location number to create a user id. For example, you have two brands, Cajan Soul Restaurant and The Cajan Bakery. You also have two new locations: Cajan Soul Restaurant has 035 and The Cajan Bakery has location 051. When setting up auto users, the Cajan Soul Restaurant will have a prefix of CSR while The Cajan Bakery will have prefix of 051. When the auto users process runs, the results are the following:

• Cajan Soul Restaurant's user id is CSR035
• The Cajan Bakery's user id is TCB051

Whether you have brands or standalone business, using the Auto Users Tab will create the User ID for any dashboard at a new location. Entering the brand name is only for those who are adding a User ID for that brand specific dashboard. For a new brand location, the brand name must be included under location notes. If you are a standalone, you would leave the brand textbox blank. Adding the commonly used prefix will automatically search for new locations with that prefix and new location. For example, Cajun Soul Restaurant has established a new location and the prefix for all their locations is "CSR" and the new location is 035. Checking the copy email box will associate the email address that was added in the contact section for location notes details into the email address column under admin-permissions. If an email address has not been associated with a new location, the email will not be included with the User ID creation, even if the box is checked. When a User ID is added, the password is the User ID. This does not interfere with password complexity as it overrides that mandate. Permission Module, below, for more information.
