Enable the Identity Management add-on and assign the user roles

Learn how to enable the Identity Management add-on and assign user roles. You need the Account Owner user role to enable the add-on and the Administrator user role to assign user roles.

Before you can configure and use identity management, you need to:

  1. Enable the Identity Management add-on and optional print requests
  2. Assign the Identity Manager and/or Location Print Manager user roles

A print location is a location that can manage the printing of ID cards. Whether your MRI OnLocation account has one location or hundreds, you would only add one location if you wish to centralize ID card printing. If you want to decentralize printing and have printing requests managed by multiple locations, you can add more than one. Identity Managers can add and remove print locations from the Identity Management section.

Enable the add-on

Turn on the Identity Management add-on, then choose the print request locations.

  1. Go to Tools > Account.
  2. Select Add-on Management from the left-hand menu.
  3. Next to Identity Management, click the slider to enable the add-on.

  6. Click Save.
  7. From the add-on page, click Settings next to Identity Management.
  8. Switch the Enable option to On.
  9. Select a print location, then click Add.

  10. Repeat for each print location as required.
  11. Click Close.
  12. Click Save.

Assign the user roles

There are two types of user roles you can assign for Identity Management:

  • Identity Manager - can manage token types, add tokens to profiles, manage ID card templates, and print their own ID cards.
  • Location Print Manager - can only receive and manage ID card print requests.

You can assign one or both roles to employees and limit them to a specific location(s) if necessary.

If the employee does not yet have access, you must send them a login permission email first.

To assign a user role: 

  1. Go to Tools > User Roles.
  2. Search for an employee using the filters and/or keyword search.
  3. Click Manage Roles next to their name.
  4. Select the checkbox next to Identity Manager.
  5. Select Global or Limited and which locations they will be an Identity Manager for.
  6. (Optional) Select the checkbox next to Location Print Manager and select locations. This option is only available if print requests have been enabled in the add-on.
  7. Click Assign Roles.
