How does Account Activation Work?
Each time a new user is created in Ops Insights, an Account Activation Email is sent to the new user’s email address. Before logging in, the user must confirm the provided email address is a real email address before he or she can Activate their new Ops Insights user account. Once the account has been activated a Temporary Password will be sent to the new user’s confirmed email address that will allow the user to Login for the First Time.
How do I know if I Need to Activate My Account?
If your account has NOT been activated you will receive an Account Activation Required warning message when attempting to :login:`Login to Ops Insights <>`. If you receive this message, follow the steps outlined in the How do I Activate my Account section listed below. The Account NOT Activated Warning Message Example image listed above will show you what the Account Activation Required warning message will look like when attempting to login if your user account has NOT been activated.
