In this article, we'll walk you through adding a new user within your DAM.
Manually Create a New User
1. In MediaValet, navigate to Settings > Users.
2. Click the Add New User button located on the right-hand side of the page.
3. Fill in the required user details in the designated fields marked with a red asterisk (*).
4. Once all required information has been entered, click Add to complete the user creation process.
Best Practices
Please keep the following points in mind when adding new users:
- You cannot re-use a username if it has been used on another library. Usernames are unique across all MediaValet libraries. We recommend using your email address as your username as you are able to re-use an email address for different usernames
- To ensure your password is secure, it must meet the following requirements:
- The entire password value must be 7-20 characters in length
- 1 capitalized letter at minimum
- 1 number at minimum
- 1 special character from the following list:
(@,#,$,%,&,!,_,`,-,=,') - No leading or trailing whitespace i.e. spaces before or after the password value.
- Users can only be part of one user group
- If an expiry date is set, the user account will be automatically suspended once that date is reached.
- When the Send New User Notification checkbox is enabled, the new user will receive an email with instructions on how to login. This checkbox does not remain checked off after the initial email has been sent.
- When the User to receive System Alerts checkbox is enabled for a user and if their permissions allow it, they will receive email notifications for the following alerts:
- Keyword approval
- Asset approval
- Expired assets
- New user registration
