In the Humly Control Panel you can add and administer users.
It is not required to add users unless you want to take advantage of the PIN/RFID Authentication to book meetings directly on the Humly Room Display.
You can add users two ways; create single users and import a list of users.
Create single users
1. Log in to the Humly Control Panel.
2. Go to Users in the left panel.
3. Click on the "Add user" button.
4. Enter the credentials of the user you would like to add. Email, Full Name, Organization, Description, User type.
5. Done! An email will be sent to the user with credentials.
User type accounts
| User type |
Description |
| Global Admin |
The global admin can administer and configure the entire Humly Control Panel and Humly Room Display. The first global admin account is usually created during the basic configuration of HCP, sharing the username (email address) with the service account. To avoid being accidentally locked out it is recommended to have more than one global admin account in HCP. |
| Local Admin |
An admin account in Humly Control Panel which can be limited to administer a subset of rooms. |
| Statistics User |
A user that can view and export statistics data in Humly Control Panel. |
| User | Can use the booking system. |
| Guest | If a users email does not exist in the booking system backend, user can only be added as a guest to use the Humly Room/Desk Booking. |
To learn more about accounts and users, please go to Accounts and users in HCP.

We do have support for user import with secure LDAP to our cloud, just make sure the LDAP server is accessible to public.
The recommended LDAP search filter for importing user that is stored on Azure Active Directory is:
(&(objectClass=organizationalperson)(objectClass=user)(userPrincipalName=*))
PINS and Password
When a user is created an email is sent to the users mail with username, password and PIN. This is the credentials needed to use HCP, Humly Room Display or Humly Room/Desk Booking. The user can later change the password under My profile.
Passwords are used to log on to Humly Control Panel or Humly Room/Desk Booking. The PIN is only used for identification/verification on the Humly Room Display. PINs cannot be used to log on to Humly Control Panel or Humly Room/Desk Booking.
