Setting up new users

Overview

Setting up a new user in Efimis requires following a series of steps across both the Desktop application and Billing system to ensure proper access and permissions.

Under no circumstances should an old user's account be used for a new staff member. Always create a new account with unique credentials.

In order to set up a new user, please follow the steps below:

Step 1: Access Settings in Desktop Application

In the Desktop application, click the Settings Icon.
