User Account Management
Last updated: May 11, 2021
EventBuilder offers flexible subscription plans, allowing Administrators to adjust the number of User Accounts via our Subscription Management portal. When adjustments are made, User Accounts should be updated in your EventBuilder Portal to reflect these changes. This action should be completed by your Portal Administrator.
Notification of Change
EventBuilder's Customer Care Team is notified when changes are made to your subscriptions via your Billing and Subscription Management account. They will notify you when your Portal has been updated. Our Customer Care Team can perform the User Account updates on your behalf upon request, or you may complete the changes in the Accounts area on your EventBuilder Portal.
Once you have adjusted the number of subscriptions in the Billing and Subscription Management interface and been notified of your Portal account update, return to your EventBuilder Portal Dashboard. From the left navigation, select Accounts:
Adding a User Account
To add a User Account after adding a subscription to your service, please refer to the article Adding and Setting Up Portal Accounts.
Disabling a User Account
After decreasing the number of subscriptions on your EventBuilder Portal, our Customer Care Team will be notified.
To disable a User Account, select the User from the Accounts list:
Select the User whose account you wish to disable. Their User Profile will open:
Deselect the 'Enabled' checkmark, then click 'Save' in the lower right corner.
The User's disabled account will no longer appear in your Accounts listing.
Reactivating a Disabled Account
There may be circumstances when you need to reactivate a previously disabled User Account. If you have subscriptions available, your Portal Administrators may re-enable an account via the Accounts section from their Portal Dashboard.
Navigate to the Accounts section on your Portal Dashboard:
Select the magnifying glass on the Search field:
From the Filter Accounts window, click on the drop down menu titled, 'Enabled?' Select 'Disabled,' then click the 'Search' button.
A list of your Portal's Disabled User Accounts will appear. Select the User Account you wish to reactivate:
At the bottom left, select the 'Enabled' checkbox. Options to reset the User's password and/or resend the Account User Welcome Email will appear.
Note: The 'Change Password' and 'Resend Welcome Email' functions are optional.
Click 'Save' in the bottom right of the dialog to finish reactivating the User Account. Your User will have immediate access to your Portal.
Transferring an Account to a New User
If your personnel has changed and you need to transfer ownership of a User Account to a new employee, the transfer must be completed by EventBuilder. Email care@eventbuilder.com for assistance. Please send your change request via your email associated with your user account.
Note: When transferring a User Account to a new employee, event data from the account is retained and then managed by the new User Account holder.
After EventBuilder has completed the change, the "Welcome to EventBuilder" email is triggered and sent to the new user, where they will be directed via link to set up a new password:
Upon creating their password, they will log into the portal, accept the Terms of Service when prompted. Your new user will have access to the Event data - past and future - the previous Organizer created.
To ensure the success of the events the new user will now be managing, we recommend creating new Teams links for all upcoming scheduled Events, and replace the existing links via the Schedule Step in your Event build. Once completed, inform any Presenters invited to Events outside of EventBuilder of the Teams URL change.
Note: If your Portal has 2-factor authentication enabled, your User will be prompted for a code to complete their login.
