Add a User with PeopleSafe Connect

PeopleSafe Connect is used for adding staff who already have a PeopleSafe Staff Profile and for anyone who is not staff but who you work with. For non-staff, for example; contractors/ advisors / volunteers, they must have a PeopleSafe profile.  They are connected to the organisation as 'Friends'.  It's a  very simple process of adding Staff or Friends using their PeopleSafe ID number.

1. Click People in the top menu bar.     
2. Click the Add New menu on the right of the dashboard. 
3. Click Connect Staff or Connect  Friend.

More about Connecting Users 

• Friends can be contractors, volunteers, student workers, safety advisers etc. Basically anyone who is not a staff member but may need to have some access to your site for whatever reason.
• If the staff member or Friend can't find their User ID number see our Related Article section: Find a PeopleSafe ID Number.
• To be a Friend you'll need to be signed up to PeopleSafe and have a PeopleSafe ID number. If you need more information on how to subscribe  visit http://www.peoplesafe.co.nz/ for more detail.
• Once you click Connect, if the user has a Best Contact Email Address in their Profile, PeopleSafe will automatically send an email asking them to accept the Connect request. They must login to PeopleSafe and accept your  request before they get access to your Organisation in PeopleSafe and for you to see their contact details. You will know if they've accepted by the screen that appears when you check their Profile. If they decline your request, you will need to talk to them. You can click the Request Access link in their Profile to send a new Connect request.
• While the User will normally get an email we suggest you also tell them you have added them to your Organisation and to expect the Connect request. 
• Because they are an existing User they will have a username and password to login to PeopleSafe.
