Hi,
I am sorry to hear that you are having problems setting up EPESI for the first time use. Maybe the following short setup guide will help you.
During the setup of EPESI you are required to enter address and company information as well as the name of the superadmin - the setup wizard creates at this point the first Company (called Main Company) as well as the first contact under this company. Any contact that is listed under this Main Company is considered an employee. For this to work you simply add new contact then create a login and then assign proper user group - the default group is just "user" and you need to switch it to "epmloyee" and this is enough:
1. Access your Main Company from Menu-> My Settings -> Main Company:
2. Add new contact - you can use Paste Company Info to save time filling company address etc. Please note that e-mail address is needed during creation of the login as the password will be randomly generated and e-mailed to this newly created user. When creating a user switch to Login Panel, select "create new user", give it a username and if you want to assign a password. For normal employees do not assign Manager "Access Level":
3. Save this newly created contact and again view it this time "login" field under Login Panel becomes a link to "Edit user":
4. After opening it you will see:
The only permission you need for the employee is "employee". If you want to add more access rights you need to hold Control and select multiple access levels, then save the record.
Recommended settings:
Employee - "employee"
Manager - "employee manager"
Superadmin - "employee administrator" AND "superadmin"
This should be enough to get you started.
