Users and Permissions

You need to be an admin user to add new users and manage permissions for your Govstack platform and the products within it, such as the Content Management System (CMS), Forms, Events and Citizen Portal.

Admins can only access the Manage Users option from the Dashboard. This will not appear in the ribbon for any of the products (CMS, Forms, or Events).

Depending on your Govstack plan, you may have access to some or all of these products.

Govstack platform user management

Manage users in your Govstack platform by adding new users, setting up authentication features and viewing user details and reports.

The way you add users to the Govstack platform will depend on whether your organization is using its own active directory and IdP for user management or using a local Govstack directory. Reach out to your website administrator if you are unsure what type of directory your organization is using.
