FAQ (Quick Questions)  

Why is user management changing? What are the benefits?  

This update was developed to improve your experience and     the security of your operation.

I have a specific question about a function in the portal. How do I get help?   

Our support team is ready to help! If, even after consulting the step-by-step guide below, you still have specific questions about how to perform  an action in the portal, please contact us. We will be happy to guide you clearly and objectively.  


What is Unico's recommendation regarding what type of email I should use to register users? 

Best Practices: To protect  your operation, avoid using public domain emails (such as Gmail, Outlook, etc.) to create users. These accounts are more vulnerable and can compromise the access and security of your data.      



Portal Access (Links)  

To manage users, access the following links, depending on the environment:  


 Access Staging   


 Access Production   



Access Profiles and Permissions

The User Profiles will determine the scope of access   for each employee. It is important to note the structure for Profile composition   (Group) to ensure error-free access:

💡 Profile (Group) Composition Structure   

Product + Profile  (if applicable) + Branch (group)  

Examples of Access Groups:  

• South Zone Unit Administrators;
• West Zone Unit Administrators;
• São Paulo Administrators (Contains both units – South Zone and West Zone);
• All Units Administrators (all company units).  

The term "Unit" refers to any organizational unit of your company (e.g., Branch, Store, or Partner).  


  Click on the block below to view the profiles and get more details.

Which Profiles Do I Need to Use to Function Correctly?


Key Point: Understanding the Administrator Profile

The User Management - Admin profile is what grants permission to manage (create, edit, delete) other users.


Click on the blocks below to see examples of combinations and the profile tables.


▸Exemple: Unico IDCloud Client

• By Unico Profile (no unit) 
• By Unico Profile (no unit + all units) 
• By Client Profile (no unit) 
• By Unico Profile (with a specific unit) 
• By Unico Profile (with one or more units)


Main Screen: User Management Overview

By accessing the option "User Management" in the side menu, you  will see a list of all registered users. On this screen, you can check the following information:

• Name
• Access email (where portal invitations are sent)
• Username
• Creation date
• Status (active, pending, expired, etc.) 

It is possible to search for specific users using name, email, or username. 


Step-by-Step: How to Create a New User

Attention: Currently, user creation is done individually. The bulk creation feature will be implemented soon.


Follow the steps below to add a new member to your team:

On the "User Management" screen, click the button "+ New User".  



You will be directed to the registration screen. Fill in the "General Information" for the new user: First Name, Last Name, Email, and Username.   


Best Practices for Creating the Username
When filling in the Username field, we recommend using the email address.    

• We recommend using the email as the Username.
• Another recommended practice is to use the format of first.lastname for user registration.
      
Attention: If your company allows registering the same email key for more than one user, it will be necessary to choose a unique Username (and different from the email) to be used at the time of login.    



      “New User” Screen    

 

Associate the user with one or more "Groups". Groups define the profiles and units (branches) the user will have access to.  


   


After adding the groups to the new user, click  “Create User” to trigger the email for first password registration.  


“New User” Screen    



Best Practices: To protect your operation, avoid using public domain emails (such as Gmail, Outlook, etc.) to create users. These accounts are more vulnerable and can compromise the access and security of your data. 


Account Activation and First Password Creation

After the account is created, the new user will receive an email to create a  password to access their account. To set the password, the user must click the button "Register Password" in the received email. 

Email Receipt and Password Creation  


  Ideal rules for creating a secure password: 
  
  Must contain 2 uppercase letters
  Must contain 4 or more lowercase letters
  Must contain 1 special character
  Must contain 2 or more numbers

Example password: Example@2026


Login Rules:     

If you register the username using the email, your login on the platform must be the email address itself    


User Status Table (Meaning and Rules)

In the "Status" column of the management screen, you can monitor the situation of each user. The possible statuses are:



Note
      
The statuses "Blocked" and "Disabled" are considered legacy on our platform. This means they are for consultation only and can no longer be assigned to new users.    

What does this mean for your management?    

• You can: Consult and view the list of users who have these statuses. 
• You cannot: Assign (apply) these statuses to any new or existing user.    



You can manually change a user's status to Active, Inactive, or On Vacation directly on the user's details screen. 


    To do this, access their profile and mark them as active, inactive, or on vacation  



Important
      
There is no option to resend the initial password registration email. To reset, follow these steps:    

1. Access the product link.
2. Enter your company name.
3. Next, type your Username.
4. Click “Forgot Password” and follow the instructions sent by email.
