About employee login permission
Once you've added your employees, allow them to log into OnLocation. Employees can be given access either manually or automatically using the SyncPortal integration.
Once invited, the employees will receive an email advising them to activate their login. They need to click the activation link and create a password.

In the Account Status column in the Employees page, employees have one of these statuses:
- Incomplete – There is no email address entered in the profile. You can't send them a login permission email.
- New – There is an email address in their profile. Send them the login permission email.
- Pending – The employee has received the email but has not yet clicked the activation link.
- Activated – The employee clicked the link in the email but did not sign into OnLocation.
- Active – The employee has created a password and logged into OnLocation.
