Adding Users

Purpose

  1. To explain the process of adding Users to your system.
  2. Users are individuals who have access to the First Due system within your department.

Warning
IMPORTANT: If you work for more than one agency using First Due, a unique email address is required for each account you will access.  This security requirement ensures each agency can set permissions, views, features, addresses, layers, etc. for their users independent of other agencies. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.
