To access Webcare, a staff will need an active login.
A staff login requires:
- A unique Email address - this email address is used to send alerts to the staff;
- A unique Username - this username is used to Sign-In to Webcare; and
- A strong password.
In this article we will go over:
Setting up a Staff Login | Enable Staff Login (Staff Locked Out) | Change Password
Important Notes
- The registered email address will be used to send alerts from Webcare to the staff and cannot be changed once registered. It is recommended that this email address is of the organisation's own domain (e.g. @yourcompany.co.nz).
- A conventional username is in the format of firstname.lastname (i.e. first-name(dot)last-name format). This username needs to be unique and cannot be changed once created.
- A strong password must be at least 8 characters long with at least two upper case characters, two numbers and a special character. Please use "Generate Password" option to generate strong passwords.
