# 02. Adding an Employee/User

### **02. Adding an Employee/User**

**Employee/User Management: Adding an Employee/User**

To add new employees / users you must have administrative permissions.

**Note:** An employee becomes a user when the employee entered is assigned a **username** and **password**, given the appropriate permissions, and the **ActiveYN** option is set to Yes.

To add a new user, select **Add Employee** from the **Employees** menu:

The **Add Employee: Select License Type** screen opens.

From the **Add Employee for License Type** drop down menu, select the License Type to which the new user will be assigned. When the license type is chosen, the specific license type’s information (number of sessions allowed, etc.) are displayed in the information box below. ![Image showing License Type information](https://cdn.document360.io/e3626857-1fb5-4e27-b278-2d3fc5508be4/Images/Documentation/2(205).png)

Click the **Continue Employee Add** button to open the **Add Employee** screen.

Enter the new employee/user information. Click **Continue** to save the information.

This specification is usually used by international organizations with Employees/users outside of the United States. By specifying a user's Regional Setting, it will set the date/time format to the region selected for that user when he/she logs into the Contract Insight application and counts non-working days that have been assigned to that region. For more information on non-working days, please see Workflow Management.

You are also able to add an employee record from a file on any page with the grey Drag and Drop box in the side menu by dragging and dropping a file on the screen.

You will then be prompted to choose what record type to create from the file. For an employee/user you will want to click the **Employee** button.

Afterwards you will be brought to a screen to review the file and enter all record metadata as necessary.
