In Flex, administrator users can enable user management via the creation of user roles and assign those roles to other users via the Flex platform.  A user's role determines browser access permissions (user rights), related to the tabs in the Flex platform.

Note for Winner Flex users: Access permissions to security roles, related to the Winner desktop program, can also be added to a user role. Security roles can be created and edited in the desktop program, using the Edit roles function. For more information, see Creating / Editing a role. 

NOTE! Only Administrators can create, edit and assign users to a user role.

 

Log in to the Flex platform

Open the Flex platform. 

If using an internet browser go to: http://flex.cloud and log in.
