Help topic: New remote user

This page allows Account Administrators to create a new remote user. (A remote user is a member of an organisation who needs access to organisational journal subscriptions from a computer outside the designated IP range.)

The page is reached by going to 'Remote user access' and clicking on 'New remote user'.

To create a new remote user, complete the form. The 'Activation Date' is when the user will have access to the organisation's subscriptions. It defaults to today's date (ie the date you create the record) but you can change it if you want to defer their access until a later date. The 'Expiration date' is an optional field you can use if you want to limit the user's access to a specific time-frame. Make sure all the required fields have been completed then click 'Save' at the bottom of the page.
