Adding a New User

You can manage Conga Platform users using the User Administration user interface. The Users tab allows you to:

  • Create, update, and manage users.
  • Import user information.
  • Assign roles to users.
  • Set default options for users. For example, locale, time zone, date and time format, and other preferences.
Tip: If the Auto Provision User Enabled toggle is enabled and the admin user has added and authorized the external integration, other users from that external integration can log in to the Conga Platform with their credentials, and the user is automatically created on the Conga Platform. For example, the admin user has integrated Salesforce as an external service and authorized it. In the Salesforce organization, there are 10 users. Now, if the toggle is enabled, any of these users can log in to the Conga Platform using their Salesforce credentials. Once they log in, their account is automatically created on the Conga Platform. For more information, see Viewing Conga Org Details.
To add a new user

  2. Click the App Launcher () icon from the top-left corner and go to Admin Console > Users.

    A list of users is displayed.
  3. Click Add to add a new external user.

    Note:
    • For the Salesforce identity provider user, the user's unique Salesforce ID (18 digits) must be added as an external ID. For more information on how to get the 18-digit user ID, see Getting Salesforce User ID.
    • ExternalId is optional for Conga IDP users.

    Note: If you do not provide a locale, the application uses the organization's locale and assigns it to the user.

    Currency

    Note: If you do not provide a currency, the application uses the organization's currency and assigns it to the user.

    Note:

    The Conga IDP user receives a Welcome email that includes the username, the first-time login password, and organization information. The user can generate a new password using the default first-time login password.

Newly created users are in an active state by default. Based on the Timezone, Locale, and Currency selections, the Positive Currency Format, Negative Currency Format, Short Date Format, Log Date Format, Time Format, Decimal Symbol, Digit Group, Digit Grouping Symbol, and Negative Number Format information is added to the new user. All of these fields can be changed while editing the user.
