We recommend that new users select Request an Account on the login screen to enter their own information. That said, you can create a new user on the Users screen, too.
To Create a New User
You have the option of creating a new user with all blank data:
•Use the Active Users Filter.
•Select 
to open the User Detail screen and enter the new user's information on the tabs below.
Note: If you get a message advising you that no more Full licenses are available, then you can only assign the Reviewer role to the new user without locking the software due to license issues.
•Select Save once you've entered all the information to create the new user, or select Cancel to close the pop-up without saving.
Or you can copy an existing user with all information copied, except for the Information, Administrative, and Preferences tabs:
•Select a user from any of the existing users, i.e., using any of the Filter options.
•Copy 
the user to open the User Detail screen and enter the new user's information on the tabs below.
Note: If you get a message advising you that no more Full licenses are available, then you can only assign the Reviewer role to the new user without locking the software due to license issues.
•Select Save once you've entered all the information to create the new user, or select Cancel to close the pop-up without saving.
For Existing Users
•Select View 
to review a selected user. If you need to make any changes, select Edit on the User Detail screen.
•Select Edit 
to make changes to a selected user.
Note: If you get a message advising you that there are no more Active licenses (that is no Full or Reviewer licenses) available:
•when editing an active user (Active Users or Currently Logged in Users Filters), if the user's role is currently:
oReviewer, you cannot change the role without locking the software due to license issues.
oNot Reviewer, you should not get any licensing messages, as you can change the role as needed without impacting the number of users on any license.
•when editing an inactive user (Inactive Users, Pending Users, Locked Out Users, or Deleted Users Filters), you cannot activate the user without making another user inactive or locking the software due to license issues.
If you get a message advising you that there are no more Full licenses available (Full licenses are those that allow you to assign any of the roles you can create on the Roles tab):
•when editing an active user (Active Users or Currently Logged in Users Filters), if the user's role is currently:
oReviewer, you cannot change the role without locking the software due to license issues.
oNot Reviewer, you should not get any licensing messages, as you can change the role as needed without impacting the number of users on any license.
•when editing an inactive user (Inactive Users, Pending Users, Locked Out Users, or Deleted Users Filters), you can only assign a role of Reviewer when you make the user active again or accept a pending user.
Either option opens the User Detail screen, ready for you to enter, review, or update the fields below.
•To keep the edits you've made to an existing user, select Save. This will return you to the list of users.
•If you do not want to keep the edits, just select Cancel to close the pop-up, or select the X in the top right of the pop-up.

Type
There are two different user types in LEAD: Employee and Contractor. LEAD gathers additional data about contractors (like what contract they are working on, as well as the contact details for the person in charge of the contract) that helps the LEAD administrator to determine whether they need to have continued access to LEAD.
User ID
Typically, the User ID follows the format of first name.last name (e.g., jane.doe), that the user enters on the login screen to login. If you operate in an environment, where Single-Sign-On (SSO) is enabled or required, then setting the User ID to the system ID (or DoD ID, if CACs are used) enables a user to login to LEAD without entering a user ID and password. If the User ID is not set to the system ID and SSO is enabled, then the user can enter their user ID and password to log in. If the User ID is not set to the system ID and SSO is required, then a LEAD administrator will need to update the user's account before they can login.
SSO Text (not user editable)
The SSO Text displays the Single-Sign-On (SSO) information that is used by the server to login the user automatically, if SSO has been enabled or is required and the User ID has been set to the System ID. This allows the LEAD administrator to verify that the correct information is being passed to the server. The SSO server information can be customized on the Customization > Configuration tab.

Role
The Role selected for the user defines their primary privileges in LEAD. Select View 
to review the privileges assigned to the selected role.
When the Restricted Access checkbox is checked, the user will only see listed and have access to the initiatives where they are listed on the Team Members screen, either as part of the team or as the initiative owner. A restricted access user will have the privileges their role provides for them in all other areas/tabs of LEAD, meaning they can still have administer privileges for 'their' initiatives.
All users with the Restricted Access checkbox checked are marked as (Restricted) on the Users screen after their role. To review which initiatives restricted users have been assigned to, run the Restricted Users and their Initiatives report on the Reports tab, under the Initiatives group.
Note: The Restricted Users and their Initiatives report is not available to restricted users.
You can use the Default Restricted Access for New Users entry on the LEAD Administration > Admin > Configuration tab to ensure that the restricted access checkbox is checked automatically for all new user account requests.
When the Initiative Reviewer checkbox is checked, the user will have Reviewer access to all initiatives, even when their role does not provide them with initiative privileges, or when they are a restricted user, meaning they can only work on their initiatives, this checkbox allows them Reviewer access to all initiatives.
A user with the Initiative Reviewer checkbox checked can View all initiatives using any of the Filter options, except the My Initiatives one, Generate all initiative-based outputs, like the IG or PG, and add Comments.
When the Customization checkbox is checked, the user will have access to the Customization area in LEAD and will be able to customize the information of certain drop-downs in LEAD for all users. Customization users can easily switch between their Standard role and the Customization user role from the [Your User Name] menu. Typically, only one or two users will have the Customization checkbox checked for a specific LEAD instance.
All Customization users are marked as / Customization on the Users screen after their role.
Note: The Customization checkbox is not available for a user with the Reviewer role assigned.
When the LEAD Administration checkbox is checked, the user will have access to the LEAD Administration area in LEAD and will be able to manage Announcements, Users, Roles, System Logs, In-Use, Licenses, and Configuration settings for a specific LEAD instance. LEAD administration users can easily switch between their Standard role and the LEAD Administration user role from the [Your User Name] menu. Typically, only a few users are LEAD administrators for a specific LEAD instance.
All LEAD Administration users are marked as / LEAD Administration on the Users screen after their role.
Note: The LEAD Administration checkbox is not available for a user with the Reviewer role assigned.

The Department(s) field shows the department(s) that the user is assigned to. In edit mode, select the Department(s) link to select the user's assigned department(s) on the Department Selection screen. On that screen, select View to review the department's information.

Default List Size
The Default List Size determines the number of rows to display on screens with table lists (for example any of the screens under Resources). You can change the number of rows to display to the user's preferred value. For many wide screens, setting this value to 12 allows users to view all list entries without scrolling, and still enable them to use the page buttons to navigate between different pages, if needed.
When I login, return me to where I left off
When the check box for When I login, return me to where I left off is checked, LEAD will return the user to the last page/screen the user was on when they logged off. If the box is not checked, on login, the user will go to the Home > Dashboard screen.
Reset Password - Edit Existing Users Only
Select Reset Password to reset the user's password. Selecting OK to the confirmation message will save any changes you've made to the user's information. LEAD will send the user an email with a temporary password. They can then use the temporary password to regain access to LEAD (though they will have to change the temporary password to a new password once they log in).
