About user accounts

FindMe user accounts must be created by a VCS administrator
before they can be accessed and configured by users.
Each user account is accessed using a username and password
associated with a specific FindMe name.

Creating a new user account

To create a new FindMe user account:
1.
Go to
Applications > FindMe > User
accounts.
You will be taken to the
User accounts
2.
Select
New.
You will be taken to the
Create user account
The options available are:
Username
The name of the user for whom you are creating an account.
This is the name they will use to log in to configure their FindMe
options.
FindMe name
The alias by which the FindMe user can be contacted.
The FindMe name can be any string of up to 60 characters.
However, not all endpoints are able to dial aliases with spaces or
other non-alphanumeric characters so we recommend that these
are not used in your FindMe names.
Initial contact address
The address or alias of an endpoint on which this user can be
contacted initially. You must provide details of at least one
device when setting up the account. Once the account has been
saved, the user can add and remove endpoints themselves.
Initial password
The password to be used, along with the Username, when logging
into this account.
Users will be able to change the password for their account once
they have logged in.
