User Database can now be found under the Toolbox. 

User Database has been updated to V4. Access to User Database is by permission only. In the User Database, you will find all user permissions, activating/inactivating users, and emailing SEEDS login information. 

Prior to Adding New Users

Before a new user is added, it is best practice to first search ALL Inactive Users. 

• If the user already has a SEEDS account, Activate the user and Edit the user's permissions. 
• If the user has shared that they have a current, Active, SEEDS account, submit a Help Ticket. SEEDS Support will add the new district to the current account.
