Editing a user

In Surpass, a “user” is someone who interacts with the system. Users create items, set up and schedule tests, mark scripts, and view reporting analytics. Users are always associated with at least one parent centre.

This article explains how to create a user in the Users screen of Setup, including details on how to retire a user and reset a user’s password and security question.

1. Go to the Users screen

To view the Users screen, go to Setup > Users.

TIP: To learn more about the Users screen, read About the Users screen in Setup.

2. Choose a user
