Create drivers

From the Admin page in Reveal, you can create and edit drivers. You can also create drivers from existing users.

Note: Accounts with Scheduler can also create Technicians in this area.

Creating Drivers from existing users

To create a driver from an existing user, follow these steps:

To open the User List, choose Account Profile > Admin > Users and Roles > User List.
To open the Edit User window, click the pencil icon next to the user you want to edit.
Select the Yes, this user is a driver checkbox.
To apply the changes, choose Save > Save.

Note: You cannot make an existing driver into a user. Therefore, you must delete the driver and add them again as a user who is also a driver. Follow this process to edit and reuse an email address:

Edit the current email address. For example, add a number to the address as follows: johndoe1@example.com.
Save the account with this "fake" email address.
Delete the driver/technician's account.
Create a new driver/technician with the original (unedited) email address.
