Create User

Creating an individual user is in most cases self-explanatory and once the user is created they are free to login. Sending a welcome message allows the user to set their own password, if you do not do this you will have to issue the user with a password and contact them directly.

Users can be created with a variety of roles:

Role Purpose

Admin

Each Company must have a user which is the designated Company Administrator. In addition to the messaging features, this user has additional options for administering their user accounts. Security, user user maintenance and reporting options are the main features and are detailed in the Company Administration section.

User

This user has their own unique login and may share Contacts and Groups with other Company Users, but all administration is done by the Company Administrator. The Company Administrator should be contacted with any queries a User may have.

Group Admin

Can access everything a user can with the addition of being able to access and edit Groups and Contacts

User Management Admin

Can access everything a user can with the addition of being able to access, create and edit users

Report Admin

Can access everything a user can with the addition of being able to access Reports

Administrators can define user-specific permissions and settings that the user cannot override themselves, as well as control the level of access they have to the Contact Security Domains.

Email2SMS settings

User-specific Email2SMS settings can also be defined.

Send to Any Number

Although the service supports sending 'email' to phone numbers, your administrator may have configured the system to only allow messages to be sent to known Contacts. When 'Send to Any Number' is enabled the user may send to any number.

e.g. 642715414141@bulletinmessenger.net

Email Signature Separator Regex

Due to SMS character/part restrictions it is useful to have Email2SMS messages automatically exclude your email auto-signature content from sent SMS messages.

To do this Messenger uses an Email Signature Separator Regex to identify the start of your Email auto-signature. Any content that appears in the email after the Regex characters will automatically be removed and not included on your Email2SMS messages.

The default characters that appear in this field are two dashes and a space “-- “, (this will also take effect if this field is left blank) but this field can be set as any characters you chose. For example, using “Regards,” might be useful if your emails always end with this closing.

All email2SMS content sent from your email will now only include the content that appears before your Regex characters.

Allowed Email Addresses

The email addresses or domains that will be billed to this user are listed here. Management of this information is handled in the purpose-built Email2SMS page.
