Users

Each individual in your business that needs access to Workhorse will need to be added as a User. This ensures traceability of all changes in the system. Additionally, Workhorse does not allow multiple log ins to the same User account simultaneously. 

Note:

The number of Users cannot exceed the permitted number of licensed Users. If the limit has been reached, please contact accounts@goworkhorse.com to adjust your subscription and increase the number of licensed Users.

View or edit Users

Workhorse allows you to manage the access and permissions within each Module for each User. To view a list of all Users, including Users that have been disabled, go to Settings > Users. From this section you can add, edit, view, and disable Users.

Note:

To be able to view or edit Users, you will need to have the appropriate User Access to the Settings Module.

Navigate to Settings > Users.
Use the Quick and Advanced Search tools to help you find a specific User. 
By default, Users are sorted by Username (A-Z). Click on another column heading to sort in ascending order by the values in the column. Click again to reverse the sort order.
Click Add New to add a new User
