How To Configure Users In Room Alert Manager

In order to access the Room Alert Manager software, you must sign in as a user. By default, Room Alert Manager has one admin-level user with these credentials:

  • Username: admin
  • Password: password

After using these credentials to login to Room Alert Manager for the first time, you may update the username, password and other profile settings.

You may also create new users so that multiple members of your team may access the software. When configuring new users, you have the choice of three user roles, each with its own level of access to the software.

For more information, please see the tabs below.
