Setting Up A New User > Project Level

What is a User?

In HammerTech, a User refers to an individual employed by the company licensing the software (i.e. the Main Builder). When someone working for a Subcontractor has a login to HammerTech, they are also classified as a User but are referred to as either a Primary Contact or a Nominated Representative.

This guide explains how to add an existing User to a Project and manage their settings. If you need to create a new User, refer to Company > Setting Up A New User.

Once a User is set up in the HammerTech system, they can be easily imported into new Projects, with settings managed on a per-Project basis.

Note: If you have the incorrect access, you may be logged in to the incorrect user role.

To check this, Open the side menu by selecting the three horizontal lines (the "hamburger button") on the top left, select My Account > Switch Account.

Managing Subcontractor Users

Primary Contacts and Nominated Representatives are created and managed through the Employer's profile. For more details, refer to:

• Adding a Subcontractor User > Primary Contact

• Adding a Subcontractor User > Nominated Representative

All other individuals using the system, such as inducted workers, DO NOT have a HammerTech login. These individuals are managed by Users via the Employers and/or Personnel modules.
