How to Create a New Employee

Employee accounts enable your staff to have their own logins to your Kicksite account. Remember, it is best practice to never share your admin username and password.

Note: Only an administrator can create an employee.

Click the following link to watch a video showing how to create a new employee.

To create a new employee:

1. Click Quick Links in the left panel, click Employee, and then click Add New Employee.​ Alternatively, click your username in the upper-right corner, click Employees, and then click the Add New Employee button at the top right.

2. In the Name field, type the employee’s first and last name. (If needed, you can include a middle name, but it is not required.)

​3. Enter the email in the Email Address field (you need to add an email address to create a user account).

4. (Optional) Type a phone number in the Phone Number field; click the SMS toggle if you want the employee to receive texts.
