How Can I Add Users With a Different Email Domain to Our Vyopta Users

Question: How can we add users with a different email domain to our Vyopta users?

Solution: A Vyopta username is formed as userpart@domain - where the domain is the organization to which you belong. This is normally the email address of the user - an assumption that is made in the automatic sign-up procedure. This assumption can cause problems when, for instance, you wish to have users who have a different email domain - perhaps a 3rd party assisting you, or a contractor's subdomain. For instance, me@domain.com with an email address of me@domain.com will work correctly when using automatic sign-up, but him@domain.com with an email address of him@contractor.domain.com will not work.

Such users should not attempt to use the automatic sign-up facility, but instead, an administrative user of domain.com should manually add these users in the form of userpart@domain.com. Once added, a list of users with the correct email addresses should be supplied to Vyopta Support in a help desk ticket. Vyopta Support can ensure that the users' email addresses are corrected.
