Summit User Management

Adding a New User  

To add a new user in Summit, click the Manage Users button in the left navigation bar and select Add User from the options.  

 

 

Then fill in the details of the user you're adding:

 

Then select your user permissions, for more information on thse please see the below section. Once finished, press Save and this will trigger an email to the entered email address to set up their password. Please note if the user has an existing Alps account, they will not receive an email and they can use their existing log in to access both accounts. They can do this by selecting the user icon in the top right of the screen and clicking Select Organisation. 

 

Editing User Permissions  

Our user permissions control access rights for different users. If you are adding a user for the first time, the permissions access appears at the bottom of the Add User screen. If you want to edit permissions for an existing user, navigate to the Active Users screen found in the Manage Users tab and press the edit icon for the relevant user. You may need to scroll to the right of the screen to see the edit icons:

 

Connect Access controls who can access Group Reports, the PDFs generated for exam result analysis across the trust. 

 

Administration access gives a user the ability to add, edit and remove users from the account and manage the subscription. 

 

Analysis Setup access gives a user the ability to change your analysis settings, please note Administrators automatically have this access. 

 

 

 

 

Deactivating a User  

To deactivate a user click into Manage Users from the left navigation bar, then select Active Users from the menu. Search for the user you wish to deactivate and use the bottom scroll bar to scroll to the right so the edit icon is visible. Press the edit icon for the user and in the edit screen, click the Disable User Account toggle. Once done, press Save in the bottom right corner and the user will be deactivated. 

 

 

Please note deactivated users will not be able to access your Summit account, but if they have been added as a user in any of the Connect accounts, they will still be able to access those and you will need to deactivate them in each Connect account.  

 

Please also note deactivated users appear in your deactivated users list, which remains visible to an account administrators.  

 

Bulk Add Users 

 

To bulk add a group of users, click Manage Users from the left navigation bar, then select Bulk Add Users from the menu. Click the top left of the screen to download the Excel template.  

 

 

Populate the template with your user's email addresses, names and job titles. 

 

Then drag and drop your file into the landing zone or click to browse for the file. Once uploaded, press View to make any changes to your users before submitting.  

 

Please note bulk adding users will give them standard access rights, if you want to give any users admin access you will need to edit them individually.  

 

Reactivating a User 

To reactivate a user, click Manage Users from the left navigation bar and click Deactivated Users from the menu.  

 

In the Deactivated User Accounts screen, press the edit icon of the relevant users and click to remove the Disable User Account toggle and press save. This will reactivate that user.
