Managing Users[edit]
Depending upon how ICI is configured in your organization, there are two ways to create a new user in ICI.
1. Using the "Create User" tile on the UI
2. Adding the users in the Active Directory through technical configuration.
The user administrators can set the preferences as default for users according to their locations or offices they work in, while creating or editing a user. This reduces the end user’s efforts of setting up the ICI account with required parameters after first log-in and presents the system with appropriate and specific pre-settings.
Administrator can:
- Set and manage preferences for single user through single user update and for multiple users through bulk process.
- View preference settings modifications details in the history tab for audit.
- Search users based on parameters related to preference settings.
With the pre-set preferences by Administrators, standard ICI users can:
- Access the ICI system with appropriate details as default after first login.
- Override the default preference settings as per individual preferences

Replacing a User[edit]
ICI has a provision to replace User A with User B for a specific role.
This may be necessary in several scenarios, such as User A was incorrectly assigned initially, an account may be delinquent for an extended period of time, or the owner is busy.
All tasks and actions that would otherwise have gone to User A (per his/her role), will now go to User B instead. Though User A is replaced by User B, they both will receive the notifications for the replacement happening.
For example, John has the roles of primary owner and approver. If he is replaced by Mary for the primary owner role, all tasks/actions for that role will be sent to Mary going forward. John will not receive any notifications at all. However, he will continue to have all the privileges of an approver and get all notifications for that role.
The replacement of the user can be reversed anytime when required. The replace user functionality is available in Agreements and Amendments, Requests and Associated Documents only. However, the replacement can happen in any state, as long as the Replace User icon is available.
