  1. Once the contact is created, Paradigm will show a success message on the top of the page showing the user account has been created successfully.

  2. Adding Roles to the contact record: Roles within the system are allocated to the contacts record, these will allow for a contact to be assigned tasks or roles within the system e.g. Teacher, Lecturer, administrator, Order clerk, request taker, registrar, HEIMS contact, mentor. These roles do not determine the access level for the contact.

  3. Adding a security group: Once the contact has been loaded, click on Login in the side menu. A user name is allocated automatically by the system if a user name has not already been allocated. If a password has not yet been set, allocate a password and press the Save button. (The Save button will only appear only when the password strength meets or exceeds a satisfactory level.) A user login can only belong to one security group at a time, so if a security group has already been assigned, follow the steps at point #4 below to remove the existing security group, and then continue here to assign the new security group. Choose the appropriate security group to assign to the user, click on the Assign Security button to save the change. Finally click the Enable User Login button.

  4. Removing a security group: A login record can only have one security group associated with it. In order to remove a security group, load the contact, click on Login in the side menu, click on the Remove Security button next to the security group to be removed. The system will prompt user to whether to delete the selected items. Click OK to make the change.

  5. Disable a user account:  Load the contact, click on the Login in the side menu, Click on the Disable User button. This will disable the users login for the system.
