Home > Alerts > Users > User Maintenance
An authorised user can add / edit / delete user details to allow access to the Alerts Engine as required.
Figure: List of Defined Users Screen
The display name is the user ID that the person will use to log in.
The Portal ID is the default portal that will be shown when the user logs into the Alerts Engine. For users such as the portal manager or administrator, this value should not be set so that the user can manage the portals as desired and view all the available portals.
If you edit an existing user or add a new one the user maintenance screen is shown.

The display name must be a unique value – otherwise the entry cannot be saved.
The display name, first name, last name and password fields are required.
