Overview
This article covers the updated user management and sign-in experience in Alvys, including how administrators create and manage users (also called accounts, logins, or team members), the new sign-in flow, the one-time Terms and Conditions agreement, the forgot-password flow, and how multi-tenant users switch between organizations.
What applies to whom:
All Alvys users experience the new sign-in flow (login, password reset, organization selection) and the one-time Terms and Conditions agreement.
Admin, Partner Admin, and Support roles use the user creation and management flows.
Alvys Implementation and Support are involved in initial tenant creation.
Prerequisites
To create or manage users, you must have the "Add User" permission and an Admin, Partner Admin, or Support role. The "Set Permission" permission lets you configure which permissions each user receives.
To sign in, reset a password, or switch organizations, no special permission is required; these flows apply to all users.
Administrators can send a password reset from Settings → Organization → Users — Alvys emails the user a secure link to set a new password. Users can also self-service using Forgot Password on the sign-in page.

Troubleshooting
New user did not receive the credentials email
The new user receives an email containing a sign-in link and temporary password. Ask them to check their spam or junk folder. Confirm the email address entered on the user profile is correct; if it is wrong, an administrator can update the Primary Email / Username field on the user profile.
Cannot see the Add User button
Creating and managing users requires the "Add User" permission and an Admin, Partner Admin, or Support role. If the button does not appear, confirm your role and permissions with your account administrator.
Resetting a user’s password
An Admin can send a password reset from the user’s profile in Settings → Organization → Users — Alvys emails the user a secure link to set a new password. Users can also reset their own password using the Forgot Password link on the sign-in page.
Cannot find a tenant on the Select Organization screen
The Select Organization screen shown at login does not have a search box. Scroll through the list to find your tenant. Once logged in, you can switch organizations using the tenant selector in the upper left corner, which does include a search box.
