# Create and Manage User Roles and Assigned Customers

## How to create users, assign roles + customers, and export a list of users. 

### **Create a New User Account**

**To create a new user, contact our team via Live Chat or Email (support@govividly.com).**

Include the following information in your request:

- **First Name**
- **Last Name**
- **Email**
- **Role** (Permission level - Admin, Manager, Viewer, etc.)
- **Assigned Customers** (Optional - Default is "All Customers") 

If you are chatting with the Vividly AI Assistant, you can type "speak to a rep" to be transferred to a support specialist who can complete your new user request.

### **Add Roles and Permissions**

**Click the Profile Icon \> Account Settings \> Permissions**

Vividly has two types of roles:

- **Predefined roles:**
  
    - **Owner** - Full access to everything, plus the ability to change other users' roles. Think of this as a "super admin."
    - **Admin** - Full access to everything in Vividly. Cannot change other users' roles.
    - **Viewer** - Can view and export data only. Cannot create or edit anything.
- **Customizable roles:** These roles give you full control. Your admin can turn specific abilities on or off — for example, allowing a user to create promotions but not approve them. To assign or update a role:
  
    - Go to **Profile icon \> Account Settings \> Permissions \> Roles tab**
    - Go to **All Available Roles** section
    - Click on the **Add New Role textbox and type the name** of the new role that you want to create
    - Click on **+ Add** when done

In order to **add permissions to a certain role**:

- Go to **Profile icon \> Account Settings \> Permissions \> Roles tab**
- Go to **Assign Roles to Permissions** section
- Click on the **dropdown menu of the permission** that you want to enable or disable for a specific role
- **Check the roles** that you want to have that permission **enabled** (**Uncheck** it, **if the opposite**)

Once your roles and permissions are setup, assign these and customers to users in the Users tab following these steps: 

- Go to **Profile icon \> Account Settings \> Permissions \> Users tab**
- Search for the user you want to assign the role and customers
- Click on its respective dropdown menus
- Select roles and customers to assign and unselect them to unassign
- Click anywhere else and notice that the page will load to save and display the changes you made

### **Remove and Update User Credentials**

If a team member has left your organization or you need to update a user's credentials (name and email), contact Vividly Support to remove their account by opening a live chat or emailing us at support@govividly.com.

### **Export a List of Active Users and their Roles**

You can download a list of all users and their assigned roles directly from Vividly:

- 1. Go to **Profile icon \> Account Settings \> Permissions \> Users tab.**
    2. Look for the download or export option at the top of the Users list (**Download User List**).
    3. The exported file will show all active users, their roles, and any assigned customers.
