To create a new user in LAMA, perform the following steps:
- Open Admin > Users.
- Select Staff and Users, located on the left side of the window.
- Click the Add button at the top.
- Choose a Division.
- Create a new contact to associate to the user by clicking the paper/pencil icon under "Contact Information."
- Create the user record by clicking the person/plus icon under "Associated LAMA User."
- Optionally, check the boxes for Inspector and/or E-Plan Reviewer.
- User Signature File. If the new LAMA user has a signature on file, select Browse to download the file (png, jpg, etc.). Use this option if the LAMA user will generate letters and have their name auto-populate the letter/form.
- Finish filling out form as applicable, and select OK when completed.
Add Users to Review Divisions
After a user is created, they will likely need to be added to Review Divisions (depending on their role). This can be done through the Permit Codes (or License / Project Codes) > Review Divisions:
Locate the Review Division you'd like to add the user to and click into the Reviewers column. You'll then be able to select them from the list of users. Click OK to save your changes.
If you only add the user to the Reviewers column, they will be able to receive Review assignments but they will not be able to Complete / Approve Reviews. To give a user this permission, they will need to be added to the Approvers column as well:
You can also assign a user as the Lead Staff member for Review Divisions through the Lead Staff column:
