The User Management page is accessible through the Submit page and allows National Focal Points (NFPs) to add or edit ABS Publishing Authorities (PAs) or National Authorized Users (NAUs). 

When adding a new NAU or PA, you will be asked to enter the e-mail address of the person to be nominated. The system will automatically search for any match in the list of registered users. If the new user is not yet registered, it will ask for further details. Whether the user is new or already registered, the system will present you a list of roles that can be added.

Note that once a role is added or modified  an automatic e-mail message is sent to the user notifying them of their role(s) and a link to updating their profile or reset their password.
