Adding Users:
Once your TreePlotter™ INVENTORY application has been delivered, you have the option of setting up additional accounts. To do this, your account must have Admin privileges (see user role descriptions below). Navigate to Hub->Admin->Account->Manage Account->All Users. Here, you will be able to add new users, edit existing accounts, or delete users altogether.
Fill in a unique username, email, and 
password for the new account. Under Role, select what privileges you would like the user to have. Under Organization, either select the organization that you want the user to be assigned to (multi-org apps) or select the only option from the drop down (single-org apps). When you are satisfied with your entries, click Save and the new user should appear in the list below.
User Role Descriptions:
In the Role drop down box, select the role that the user should have. Your list may look like this or there may be additional roles.
Here is an overview of what each role can do:

Organizations and Multi Organizations:
If you have organizations, sites or surveys then this drop down box will allow you to limit the user to one of these.
If you have multiple organizations installed in your TreePlotter, then you will be able to tick the boxes against the ones that the user should have access to. Note that any Admin accounts will have access to all organizations even if you only tick a selection.
Set Filters Against Users:
If required, users can be restricted to access a sub-set of data based on a filter.
- Navigate to Hub->Admin->Account->Manage Account -> All Users
- Apply a filter to the map either by applying selection to fields on one or more layers and/or by map (see the Advanced Filter for more details)
- Click on the Set Filter link against the user to apply that filter to them
- If you wish several users to have the same filter, check the box against each user and then click “Set Filter for Checked”
Once a filter has been applied, there will be additional options:
- To see which filter has been applied to a user – click “Preview Filter” for the map to now reflect their filter (see the yellow filter description drop down for a quick summary)
- To clear the filter – click on “Remove Filter”
- To give them a new filter – apply the filter to the map and then click on “Set Filter”
- To edit the filter – click on Preview Filter to see what they had, update the filter accordingly and then click on “Set Filter”
Set Filters Against Roles:
If required, roles can be restricted to access a sub-set of data based on a filter.
- Navigate to Hub->Admin->Account->Manage Account -> Roles
- Apply a filter to the map as above
- Click on the Set Filter link against the role to apply the filter
- If you wish several roles to have the same filter, check the box against each role and then click “Set Filter for Checked”
The Public role controls what you can see before you log in, so if you have trees that are available to the public, you can restrict the trees that appear by applying a filter and setting it against the Public role.
Perhaps you will always need to apply a filter to users on a particular role, in which case you can filter for Primary ID where it is null and apply that to the role so that by default it can’t see anything. This means if you forget to apply a mandatory filter, they will see nothing by default instead of everything.
Note: Updating the role filter will automatically apply the new filter to each user in that role. Also note that a filter applied directly to the user will take precedence over the role filter.
To Edit a Role:
If you wish to configure a role further, to stop it from being able to see or edit certain fields, please use the Data Field Editor tool.
To Edit a User:
Double click on the record in the list of users for their details to be displayed in the form above. Make changes, such as their username, email address or role. Click on the Save Changes button.
To Delete a User:
If a user should no longer be able to access TreePlotter, click on the Delete hyperlink on the right of the list of users. Click Yes to confirm.
Exporting Users:
You can export a list of your users to a csv from the user table. To do this, navigate to the user table, (Hub->Admin->Account->Manage Account->All Users) scroll down until you see the Export button, and select it.
