  1. Go to the Manage Section

    • Navigate to:

      Employees/workers > Manage > View (pink eye button) > Administration tab

  2. Grant Access to Atlas

    • Find the “Grant access to Atlas” switch and turn it on.

  3. Choose User Type

    • If the employee already has a user account, select ‘Existing User’.

    • If the employee does not have a user account, select ‘New User’.

  4. Send Welcome Email

    • When you activate access, Atlas sends a “Welcome to Atlas” email to the employee. They can set their password and log in.

Troubleshooting: Duplicate Username Error

If you see this error:


“It is not possible to create this user as another account exists with the same username, within your company. Each user account must have a unique username.”

This means:

  • The employee’s email is already registered under a different company on Atlas.

  • You chose ‘New User’, but the email is already linked to an existing user.

    Solution: Select ‘Existing User’ and link the employee record to the existing account.
