ADONIS Starter Edition - Account Administration

Welcome

In this manual, you will learn how to use the Account Administration of your ADONIS Starter Edition account.

The Account Administration allows Master Users to e.g.

  • create individual users manually,
  • import users in bulk from Excel,
  • edit and delete users and
  • change user passwords.

Each ADONIS Starter Edition account has a Master User assigned to it. By default, the Master User will be the person who signed up for the account. Another user may be designated as Master User at any time.

Open Account Administration

To open the Account Administration:

  • Log in to the ADONIS Starter Edition.
  • Select the Account Administration scenario from the dropdown menu at the top left corner of the program window.
