Managing Users

One of the first things an administrator will want to do with Transit is adding users. Transit has two kinds of users: Internal and External.

Internal Users are the users you have allocated licenses to. They can send secure messages and upload files and create and share folders. Internal users can be given additional roles such as System Administrator or Billing Administrator.

External Users are the people that your internal users send messages to and share folders with. External users cannot send messages (but can reply to messages sent to them) and can only interact with folders that have been shared with them. External users do not require licenses nd there is no limit to the number of external users.

Adding Users
To add a user select Admin from the left menu then Users. Click on ADD USER.

Fill in the users information and select the desired roles for the user.

Licensed User
Licensed users are the Internal users who can send messages and share folders.

Normally you do not need to manually add external (unlicensed users). They are created automatically the first time an internal user sends a message or shares a folder with a user not in the already in the system.

System Administrator
The System Administrator role gives a user access to the Admin entry on the left Menu and access to administer the system.

Billing Administrator
The Billing Administrator role gives a user access to the billing page where they can manage your organizations subscription.

The Billing Administrator role is only available if your organization signed up for transit using the self signup page.
