Here's a video guide to help you add a user. If you prefer to read the step by step guidelines, keep scrolling!
Adding a New User
- Go to Admin Site (Desk). Learn how you can switch to Admin Site (Desk) here!
- Go to Settings
- Click Users
- Click + Add Users
- Start adding information on the new User
- User Details
- [5a] Fill in the required fields, which are Email and First Name. As for Username, you may leave it empty as the system will automatically use the user's first name as the username.
- [5b] Untick the Send Welcome Email checkbox if you do not wish to give access to the User immediately. In TreeAMS, a welcome email refers to an email asking the User to reset their password. If you still want to do some set up for the User, like permission setting, content access, or task assignment, it is recommended that you untick this checkbox.
- Permissions
- [5c] Assign the User to a Network, either a branch or unit (if you need to learn more about Network, Branch or Unit, please refer to Difference Between Branch and Unit). Do note that:
- Assigning to the parent company—the company that owns the brand and franchises grants them access to all units within the company, as well as all branches and the units under those branches.
- Assigning to a branch means that the user will have access to the branch and all units under the branch
- Assigning to a unit means that the user will have access to the unit only
- [5d] Choose the User Role also known as User Type. Learn more about User Types here.
- [5e] You may also choose User Sub Role for a Site Admin user. User Sub Role specifies a user's responsibilities and permissions within their primary role. It adds another layer of customization, ensuring each user has access to the tools and features they need based on their specific duties without giving too much access within the system. This is applicable for Site User where their access is limited. Refer to below examples.
- If the Site User is responsible for creation and editing of content, then TreeAMS Content Manager User Sub Role can be given to Site User.
- If the Site User is responsible for adding and managing users in the system, then TreAMS User Manager can be given to Site User.
💡Quick tips: you may assign multiple branches and units to a User!

Disabling a User
In TreeAMS, Disabling a User refers to revoking user access to the platform without permanently deleting their account. A disabled user cannot log in or interact with the system, but their data and permissions are retained.
This feature is useful for situations like staff transitions, extended leave, and even resigned staff members.
Please note that TreeAMS strongly advises against deleting a user‼️ This is because each user is linked to important data. Deleting a user can lead to data loss and potential errors in the system.
In TreeAMS, you can choose to either disable a single user or disable multiple users at the same time.
