Users are the people who run your daily operations: dispatchers, admins, and your field team.
Important: Add at least one user with Execute Work turned on. Without one, your company can't receive work.
To add a user:
- In the Admin Portal, click the Users tab.
- Click New.
- Enter the user's Name and Email. The welcome email goes to this address.
- Enter a Phone number and Default team (optional).
- Choose a Role, then turn on the permissions the user needs.
- Add Attributes if needed.
- Click Save.
The user gets a Welcome to IronSight email to set their password.
Roles at a glance
Permissions
Each role comes with a set of permissions. Once you pick a role, its permissions appear underneath. Turn on the ones the user needs.
Good to know:
- A permission in lighter blue is turned on automatically and can't be turned off. For example, Admins can always see line item rates, and every role can submit forms.
- Some permissions depend on others:
- Coordinators always have Dispatch jobs, Review forms, or both. Turning one off turns the other on. When Dispatch jobs is on, Request jobs is on too.
- Field workers need Request jobs to use Assign job to company. Turning off Request jobs also turns off Assign job to company.
✅ Included = on automatically · Optional = you choose · — = not available for that role

When adding or editing a user, you can choose which notifications they get and how: by push notification in the app, by email, or both. Scroll down to Notification Preferences, turn each option on or off, and click Save.

Company-level notifications
