Activating/Editing a Single Account
To activate an account or register a new member in FAST, take the following steps:
- Log in to your FAST account.
- Go to Access Management > User(s) Access in the left navigation bar.
- Search the account that you want to approve or configure.
Note: You can search for a specific request by typing a string in the Search field. This action will display accounts matching the search criteria. For example, by typing ‘CSR’ in the Search field, it will display accounts matching the said term. Similarly, you can use other search criteria such as Created By, Account Type, Username, etc.
- Once you find the user account, click the Edit button.
- The Edit user Access page will be displayed. For newly requested accounts, these fields (Phone, Mobile, Team Manager, and Skill Set fields) will be blank.
