User Management Admin Screen

User Management screen showing license counts and user list.

If a user has access to Emburse Analytics but has not logged in for the first time, the user does not appear in the User Management list.

License Management

Licenses are assigned the first time a user logs in, based on their permissions and available licenses.

  • Emburse Enterprise: Permissions are assigned through the user’s person record. See “Assign Creator and Viewer Permissions” in Emburse Analytics User Types And Roles.
  • Emburse Professional: Users are assigned Viewer permissions by default.
  • Emburse Spend: Users are assigned Viewer permissions by default.

After a user logs in, administrators can update the assigned license or remove the user from Emburse Analytics. Users who have not logged in cannot be searched in the User Management screen.

Emburse Enterprise User Types

Only users granted the Advanced User permission in their Emburse Enterprise person record can be assigned a Creator license. Changing a license in User Management does not update the person record in Emburse Enterprise.

For Emburse Analytics free-tier customers, only users with the Accountant role can be granted Viewer or Creator access through User Management.

For Emburse Analytics Pro customers, users with the Accountant, Manager, or Executive role can be granted Creator access through User Management.

Edit User Type

Change a user’s license type from Viewer to Creator or vice versa.

Remove a user to free a license when it is no longer needed.

Removing a user also deactivates any schedules or burst schedules assigned to that user. Reassign schedules first using the Schedules admin screen or Burst Schedules admin screen.

  2. Select the More button, then select Remove User.

  3. More menu with Remove User option.
