Users are now able to have more than one employer or role associated with a single email address/account. This allows them to use the same email to login to access the system under multiple user types, and across multiple employers. A single email could now be the primary contact for 5 different sub contractors, as well as have a standard user general contractor account.
If a user is assigned to more than one role in the system, upon logging in they will need to select the appropriate account. See below - The user has been set up as the Primary Contact for 'Demo Employer' and also has a Standard User account with the General Contractor.
Assigning an Employer User to multiple companies:
- This will work much the same as before where you will need to access each Employer's profile to add a Primary Contact or Nominated Rep. However you will not need to worry about receiving the error - 'A User with this email already exists'. Instead, if the email address is already in use elsewhere the role will simply be added to the account for them to select when they next log in.
Assigning a General Contractor user to an Employer:
- Similar to above, if you wish to give a General Contractor user access as an Employer Representative, simply use their same company email address to add them as a Primary Contact or Nominated Representative within the Employer's profile.
Note: Setting up Nominated Representative accounts still requires an approved worker induction.
Adding a General Contractor role to an Employer user:
If you have a user assigned to an employer as either a Primary Contact or Nominated Representative you are able to add a role to their account, allowing them access to the system as a general contractor user as well.
- Log into HammerTech (if you are not already logged in), then navigate using the left hand menu > Administration > User Management
- Filter by: User Type, Status, User Permission Set or Job Title
- To filter for the Employer User, select User Type
- Select the tick box All Employer Users > Apply
- Search for the user with a name or email in the search bar and select the relevant Subcontractor account you want to add a role to
- Next to the Roles heading, select the blue + symbol to the right of Role
- In the popup that appears, enter a Title for the user's new role and select the User Type from the drop down.
- Once the role has been added it will appear below the Nominated Representative role and be active immediately - next time the user logs in they will be required to select the appropriate account.
Note: A user can be assigned accounts with multiple employers however can only be assigned one General Contractor role. Use the cog next to each role to edit or remove.
