Manage Users

Managing Users

Through the Glance Portal tab, you can add and edit users, create roles, and export user lists.

For Cobrowse, you can also use Glance's APIs found under Customizing for partner user registration to subscribe roles, show, update, delete, and add users.

Add Users to Your Account

To add users to your account:

Under Account Management, select the Portal tab.
Select Add subscribers to this account.
If using roles, select the role which is applicable.

There are two ways you can add users:

Bulk Upload: If you are adding more than five users, we recommend a bulk upload via a CSV file. You may only select one role per bulk upload.
- Create a new bulk upload excel file using the following template and upload it to Glance.

FirstName	LastName	Email	Phone	GlanceAddress	Password	PartnerUID

NOTE: The file must be saved as a CSV before uploading to Glance.

Manual: Use this option when you are adding one to three users.

Glance Address Naming Conventions

Customers can choose any of the following standard Glance naming conventions, or create their own. For John Appleseed <customer>, the following would apply:

ja.<customer>.glance.net
john.appleseed.<customer>.glance.net
appleseedj.<customer>.glance.net
appleseed.<customer>.glance.net
<customer>1.glance.net, <customer>2.glance.net, <customer>3.glance.net

Create Roles

Create roles so you can:

Provide specific team members special access to Glance feature(s). First, create a role for the permission, and then provision users into this role.
Run session activity reports on teams. You can create a role for a team and provision users into this role.

Follow these steps, to create roles:

To create a new role, select New.
Fill out the following:
- Role name: Assign a name for the role.

- Features / Settings: Assign the capabilities and features for this role. The features/settings are pulled from the Settings tab found under the User Privileges and Settings section.
Save the role.
Click OK.
If you have no other roles to create, click Apply.

NOTE: If you do not select Apply, the role will not be saved.
