Create an employee and invite them to join
Admin
Two ways to create an employee account: email invitation or temporary password.
Presentation
When you create an employee, BizCoRa automatically chooses the onboarding method based on whether you provided an email address.
Option A - Email provided: an activation email is sent automatically. The employee clicks the link in the email, sets their own password and their account is activated.
Option B - No email: the account is created active with a temporary password. This password is shown ONLY ONCE: note it and share it privately with the employee. On first login, they will be required to set a new personal password.
Access
Administrator dashboard > Administration > Manage users > "New user" button (+ icon at top right of the list).
Interface description
- First name field: Employee first name (required).
- Last name field: Employee last name (required).
- Email field (optional): If you fill in the email, BizCoRa automatically sends an activation link. If you leave this field empty, a temporary password is generated.
- ID card number: Employee legal identifier (required).
- Birth date: Select the date via the calendar (required).
- Role: Cashier, Manager or Administrator. Defines the default permissions.
Step-by-step procedure
- Action: From the user list, tap the "+" button at the top right. Result: The creation form opens.
- Action: Enter the first name, last name, ID card number, birth date and role. The email is optional: leave it blank if the employee has no professional email address. Result: The form is complete and ready to submit.
- Action: Tap "Create". Result: BizCoRa creates the account and shows the result: email sent (Option A) or temporary password (Option B).
- Action: Option A: read the email address shown in the confirmation window. Result: The employee receives an email with an activation link valid for 72 hours. After that, resend the invitation from their profile.
- Action: Option B: in the result window, tap the copy button next to the temporary password. Result: The password is copied to the clipboard. Share it with the employee privately (call, encrypted message, in person). It will not be visible after closing.
- Action: The employee logs in with their credentials (email link for Option A, temporary password for Option B). Result: Option A: the activation screen opens, the employee sets their password and the account becomes active. Option B: the employee is automatically redirected to set their personal password before accessing the app.
Error messages
"This activation link is invalid or has expired".
Cause: The link has been used once (it is single-use) or 72 hours have elapsed. Solution: Go to the employee's profile and use "Resend invitation" to generate a new link.
Tips
- The activation link expires after 72 hours. If the employee has not used it, go to their profile and tap "Resend invitation".
- The temporary password is only visible once. It cannot be retrieved afterwards. If the employee lost it, deactivate the account and create a new one.
- An employee without an email can still receive an invitation if you update their email later in their profile.
