Creating New IMOSlive Users
To create a new IMOSlive user in the Security List, follow the steps below:
Send a request for a new user creation (not a new license) to Veson Nautical Support via the Help Center.
If the request is not for a new license, confirm if one of the existing users can be made Inactive to accommodate the new user. Otherwise, Veson Nautical will charge for an additional license.
Veson Nautical creates the new user's password and user name and informs all the interested parties. The credentials are sent directly to the new user's email address as an encrypted email.
Create the new user in IMOS in the desired environments, Production and/or Test, following the standard new user creation guidelines.
