New vWork accounts are created with one Admin user already created from the sign-up information. This user has the name, email address, and password you entered during the sign-up process. An Admin user is able to access and change every aspect of your vWork account.  If you are uncertain about who your primary Admin user is, please email support@vworkapp.com. 

Note: You must always have at least one user with the Admin user permissions selected in your account.

   Where there is a drop-down list you can choose a permission level.
   
   Click to select from:

Alternatively, where there is a checkbox, click the checkbox to add a checkmark and enable the permission. It will be fully enabled when checked or fully disabled when empty.

Send signup and login links to mobile app users

To easily set up your mobile workers with the vWork mobile app you can send them an SMS text message links from their User details page. There are two types of SMS messages you can send: 

1. Download the vWork mobile app:  
   The worker clicks the link in the SMS message to start the download of the vWork mobile app. 
   
   
2. Automatically log in to the Mobile App:
   Once the vWork mobile app is installed on a worker's phone you can send them another SMS message with a link that enables them to automatically log in to the mobile app. You can send this link anytime a mobile user needs help logging into their mobile app.

To send either SMS link to a mobile worker:

1. Go to Settings >Users> User.
   
   
2. Select the User from the User Management page to open their User Details.
   
   
3. Scroll to the bottom of the page to Send Login Details to User.
   
   
4. Click Send now in Step 1 or Step 2.

💡 Tip: These links are only active if a valid mobile number is entered in the Phone field in the User Details. If the user already has the vWork mobile app on their phone you need only send them the Step 2 message for them to automatically log in. 

❗ Important: vWork mobile app users must have a valid mobile number that is used exclusively by them to use the vWork mobile app.
