As a Bynder administrator, you can create new users and give them certain rights within the portal.

Users may also be created by allowing them to register or by logging in via Single Sign On (SSO).

Before You Begin

Each user will need to be added to a permission profile. Please make sure that you set up permission profiles before you create users. 

Add a Single User

  1. Navigate to Settings > Users & rights > User Management.

  2. Click Add new user.

  3. Fill in the required fields.

  4. (Optional) Fill in the optional fields.

  5. (Optional) Click the Groups dropdown to add the user to one or more user groups. Learn more about groups here.

    Tip

    We recommend creating groups before adding users to save time.

  6. Click the Set user profile dropdown and select the permission profile.

  7. Check the Active box to activate the user account. Only active users can log in to Bynder. If this is not marked, the user cannot activate their account.

  8. (Optional) Check the box to Send email notification if you want the user to receive a notification that their account has been created and to create their password.

    Note

    We typically recommend allowing users to create their password rather than creating it for them.

  9. (Optional) Check the SSO user box to ensure that the user can only sign in with their SSO credentials. This prevents the user from setting their own Bynder username or password.

    Note

    If you do not see an SSO user as a checkbox and would like to enable it in your account, please get in touch with Customer Support.

  10. Click Save to create the user account.

Add Multiple Users

You can also add multiple users and a single user once. When you add them, you can enter their email address and assign them to permission profiles, but you cannot add additional profile details, such as name, country, etc. If you would like to create multiple users with additional profile details at once, please get in touch with your Customer Support.

  1. Navigate to Settings > Users & rights > User Management.

  2. Click Add multiple users.

  3. Enter the email addresses you want to create accounts for in the text field.

    Note

    Make sure you separate the email addresses with a comma.

  4. Click the Active box to allow the users to log in to Bynder.

  5. Click the Send email notification box if you want the users to receive a notification that their account has been created. By selecting this option, users can set up their passwords and add more profile details.

    Caution

    If you select this option but do not select the Active option, users will receive a notification to contact a person within their organization and will not be able to log in to the system.

  6. Click Save to create new users.
