Adding a Shared Account in PaperCut

Step 1

Getting Admin on Papercut. If you are an area assistant and you do not have admin permissions on your Papercut account then you should send a request to ithelp@viu.ca to gain access. You can make sure you have access to your shared account in the "Accounts" option on your Papercut dashboard. After you are given Admin access follow this link to get to your log in page. Papercut login

Step 2

Once you have admin access your dashboard should look like this.

Once you see these options click on the "Users" option.

Once in the users list type the employee's name into the quick find search bar. Which should be near the top left of the page. Click on their name when you see it listed below the search bar.
