*Create an Employer user (Classic)

Overview

Administrators with the Create Users permission can use the Users tile to create Employer users in Aptem.

Create an Employer Account

To create an Employer account:

1. Sign in to your administrator account with your name and password.
2. In the navigation panel, click the Users tile, if you are not on the Users list page already.
   If you need to re-organise the coloured tiles, click How to use Active Tiles on the top right. 
   
3. On the Users list page, click the ‘Create’ button to show the drop-down list. Click ‘Employer’ in the drop-down list and click 'Yes' to confirm that you want to create a User. 
   
   The ‘Add Employer’ page is shown.
   
   
4. Choose if you want to 'invite this user into Aptem':
   Click ‘Yes’ so that the employer will receive an email activation link to create the username and password.
   

   The subject line of the email will be “Aptem Account Activation”. This email contains a link that confirms the user’s email address. The user clicks on the activation link to display the Activate Account page where the user must provide a password for the account. The login name can also be changed at the same time by the user.

   Click ‘No’ so that the employer will have a status of ‘prospect’ in Aptem but cannot log-in.
   If you said ‘No’ to inviting the employer to Aptem, you can later send the person an Aptem invitation from the employer’s profile / record when you wish the employer to activate the account. To find a user's profile page, click the ‘Users’ tile and search for that user by, for example, name or email address. 

5. Complete the subsequent fields down to Mobile - these are straightforward data entry fields and require little further description than the field title. Note that in cases where Multi Factor Verification (MFV) is enabled, the Mobile Number field will be mandatory while creating or editing a user. This is also true in case you are creating users via CSV upload/ API.

      Roles	Select the role(s) the Employer will fulfill from the Available list on the left and move to the Assigned list on the right using the right-pointing arrow buttons (one or more than one). If you wish to change your selection, select the role(s) from the Assigned list and move to the Available list on the left using the left-pointing arrows (one or more than one).
      Positions Add new position	Click Select positions and select the position(s) that the Employer will fulfill from the dropdown list. To add a new position, type the name of the Role and click the Add button.
      (M) Mandatory	Select the new Employer's access rights to the Aptem console and Aptem classic. Simply check the check box adjacent to the type of interface.  However, the Aptem console is under development so you are currently advised not to check that option. You will be able to return to the Learner later and do so, following notification that the console is 'live' and usable.
      	Click the Create button. This will create the account and, if you selected the option to invite the Learner to Aptem, it will send an activation email to the user (see instruction 4. above). Click the Close button to exit without creating the new employer.
