Add a new Plan Manager
You can add a new Plan Manager from either Users > Create User; or direct from Plan Managers, selecting Create Plan Manager from the top right of the screen.
- From the main menu, select Users > Create User.
- Select Plan Manager as the User role.
- Enter First Name, Last Name and Email address (mandatory fields).

- Complete any additional Contact Details.
- a Mobile number is recommended as this can be used for Two-Factor Authentication to login. This is more secure than sending 2FA to an email address.
Security - 2FA
Two-Factor Authentication is required for ALL Plan Managers
