Click the add button to the top right of the users list.

A screen will appear asking for a list of emails to invite. This list may be separated by commas or each email may be on a separate line.

Make sure Regular User is selected.

Distro emails are available for company distribution lists. These “users” cannot login to Critical Labs, but they can be setup to receive alerts.

Assign appropriate permissions, as described above, and click Invite.

Critical Labs will now send invitation emails to all of the email addresses listed. Each user will have to confirm their login using the link provided in the email. This will allow them to setup a password so that they can login to Critical Labs.

Once you’ve added a user to your company account in Critical Labs, they will appear in the list of users. You can choose resend an invitation/verification link to their email or send a test alert to that user using the buttons under the user’s name.

You can manage which views a user can see, as well as which alerts they will receive, directly from the Users page. View management is located on the bottom of the user panel, under the user's email and general application permissions.
