FUSION uses a tiered security system that allows district users to manage access to their data separately from users at the state level.  This system distributes the responsibility of managing the access to FUSION away from the state and into the hands of the district users.  This gives greater control to district users to specify who can access their data and how it can be used.  An example of the distribution of power is shown below:
 

State Level Administrators	District Level Administrators
Create new users Edit state-level users Delete state-level users Assign user roles at the state and district level	Create new users Edit district-level users Delete district-level users Assign user roles at the district and campus level

Note: Users can have their rights managed only by the accounts that added them.

FUSION provides a filter at the top left that allows users to filter users by district, role and whether the users are FPU, allowing you to quickly see who is associated with a district.

Add Users

When adding users, all fields are required.  Users must enter:

• User ID - this ID must be unique.  It will be the login ID used to access FUSION
• User Name
• Password
• Password Re-Enter - enter the password again to ensure that it is correct
• Phone Number
• Email
• Home Office

Once done entering the user's information, save it by hitting the save button.  A new user will be created in the FUSION database.  However, the work to setup the user is not complete.  The user must still have roles assigned to them at the state or district level, depending on the specific needs of the user.

Edit Users

When editing users, all fields are required.  Users must enter:

• User ID - this ID must be unique.  It will be the login ID used to access FUSION
• User Name
• Password
• Password Re-Enter - enter the password again to ensure that it is correct

All fields are editable.

Once done editing a user's information, save it by hitting the save button.  The user's information will be updated in the FUSION database.  If the users does not have roles assigned, they still must be assigned at the state or district level, depending on the specific needs of the user.

Delete Users

Assign Roles (State Level)

For state level administrators, users are assigned roles by district.  Clicking on the Assign Roles link will bring up the following page.

On the left side of the screen is a box with a listing of the districts.  Select multiple districts to assign to a user by holding down the CTRL key and clicking on the districts.  Once they are selected, hit the add button.  The districts will be added to the role list on the right hand side of the screen.  To remove districts from the role list, select the check boxes next to the district in the role list and hit the remove button.

Once a district is added to the role list, rights must be assigned to the user for the district.  By default, the rights assigned are Visitor (view only) rights.  Other options available are User (transactions only) and Admin (transactions and administrative options).  Select the appropriate role for the user's district, then hit the save button at the bottom of the screen to add the roles to the user.

The Assign FPU Rights allows a user to assign functions concerning state-level users such as access to the state level view of districts and FPU components such as AB1473.

Assign Roles (District Level)

For district level administrators, users are assigned roles by campus .  Clicking on the Assign Roles link will bring up the following page.

On the left side of the screen is a box with a listing of the districts and campuses.  Select multiple districts to assign to a user by holding down the CTRL key and clicking on the districts.  Once they are selected, hit the add button.  The districts will be added to the role list on the right hand side of the screen.  To remove districts from the role list, select the check boxes next to the district in the role list and hit the remove button.

Note: You must add a district in order to be able to get access to a campus.  You cannot add a campus without its parent district.

Once a district is added to the role list, rights must be assigned to the user for the district and the individual campuses.  By default, the rights assigned are Visitor (view only) rights.  Other options available are User (transactions only) and Admin (transactions and administrative options).  Select the appropriate role for the user's district, then hit the save button at the bottom of the screen to add the roles to the user.
