Overview
SimaPro multi-user has the feature to manage users within your database. This can only be done by the Manager. Therefore, organizations should appoint a SimaPro Manager internally as it is only possible to have 1 Manager per database. Managers have a full right where they can create new users and user types. They are the only ones who can carry out database management actions, such as database import/export, database check, database backup, etc.Â

Creating users
In SimaPro multi-user, users are defined on the database level which means you can have different users for different databases. In order to create a user, you first need to assign the user type. A user type defines the rights for specific actions the user is allowed, such as creating a process or deleting one. By default, there are three types of user types:Â
- LCA expert
- LCA practitioner
- Visitor
After assigning the user type, you can define each user's profile to specify to which project the user has access. The pre-defined users which are based on the above-mentioned user types are:Â
- Expert
- Manager
- Practitioner
- Visitor
The above-mentioned are the user and user types set by default. However, all of these options are editable and you can also add your own user types and assign a user to it.Â

Managing users
After creating users, you need to assign them to projects they can access. There are several ways to do this:
- Manually
- In this option, you manually assign users one by one to projects they may open by clicking ''Add''.Â
- Via an import wizard
- The ''Import Wizard'' feature helps you to automate the process of creating users and assigning projects especially if you have a large number of users. The step-by-step on how to do this is explained in this article.Â
- Via importing an Excel file
- Another alternative to import wizard which offers even greater flexibility is to use the ''Import Excel'' feature. Find out how to import users from Excel on this page.Â
