Setting up Athlete App Users in OpenField Cloud (Team Staff)

In order for your athletes to gain access to the Athlete app, they must be a 'Remote Athlete' user in OpenField Cloud. This will enable them to use their personal email address to log in and create a password unique to them. From an Administrator's point of view it will also allow you to invite and disable their access to the Athlete app. 

How to create a 'Remote Athlete' user

1. Log in to OpenField Cloud using your team's main OpenField account.
    

   Note: This can't be a sub user account as these accounts don't allow user creation.
2. Go to Settings, then Users & Permissions.
3. Click Add New User.
4. In the fields below enter the following information about the athlete you are creating an account for:
   • Username: <Athlete's personal email address>

   • Name: <First name, Last name>
      

     Note: this must match how it is spelled in their Athlete OpenField profile.
   • Email: <Athlete's personal email address> (same as username section)
5. Under Account Type select the Remote Athlete box.
   
6. Click Create User. A pop-up will appear warning you this user will not be allowed to log in to OpenField. This means a Remote Athlete user will only be allowed to log into the Athlete app and will not see their own or anyone else's data on OpenField Cloud or Console.
7. Click Confirm. You should now see the new account listed with the rest of the accounts.  The athlete will then receive an email inviting them to create a password and download the app.
