Edit Accounts

You can find the accounts in Oniva Admin under Settings. If you can't find this navigation item, you do not have the necessary permissions. Only platform admins of users with a Premium license can edit accounts. If you need to adjust an account on a lower license level, you can contact Oniva support via the form at the bottom of this article.

‍

Manually Create Accounts

‍New users can be created using the "Create Account" button.

Details

• First name: First name of the user
• Last name: Last name of the user
• Email: Email of the user
• Mobile: Mobile number for communication via SMS
• Language: Predefined system language for the user
• Gender: User's gender, which automatically determines the correct salutation in notifications
• Account type: Select the account type to which the user will be assigned. Account types can define login methods and access rights.

• Responsible ticket coordinator: In Oniva, each account can be assigned a ticket coordinator. These individuals can book events with bookings on request or approve bookings on behalf of the account holder. The approval by the ticket coordinator only changes the booking status to "pending."

Account Groups

Using account groups, individual target groups for events can be created. For example, the same target group can be used for recurring events. Account groups can be used within an event for the following operations:

• You can use a predefined group of accounts to import contacts and then send invitations to these contacts
  Account groups can be used to import event contacts into the contact list.
• You can use a predefined group of accounts to restrict access to your event.
  ‍At the event level, under authorization groups, under access to the event website, only selected account groups can be allowed. With this setting, only users of the corresponding group have access to the event.

Add account to account group

1. Open the corresponding workspace
2. Select the "Account groups" menu item
3. Create a new account group or choose an existing one, select "Edit Accounts"
4. Add or remove accounts via email addresses
5. After a few minutes, an email will be sent to the admin account's email address, notifying about the success of the import.

Block or Delete Accounts

To block an account, navigate to the account list and select the corresponding account. Then, in the action menu (···), click "Block" or "Delete." The status of the account is displayed in the list entry:

• ‍Active: The account has access to Oniva.
• Inactive: The account does not have access to Oniva.
