You can add two types of users to the PEAK platform:

Your account must have administrative privileges in order to add companies and users to PEAK. Contact your client admin or CIM Support if you are trying to add a user.

Client Users

Have access to all sites belonging to the same Client Company including:

  • Access to PEAK Actions, Charts and Rules

  • Access to all PEAK reporting dashboards, energy monitoring, thermal comfort, rules etc

  • Visibility to other sites under the same Client

  • Ability to add and remove Contractor Users to sites (limited to admin users)

Example Client Users

Building operators and their managers, sustainability stakeholders and internal analysts.

Creating a new Client User

Go to Admin > Clients > Search for client company name > Select Users icon

Click Create User to create a new user

Enter user details and uncheck the box "Send E-mail to User" before clicking Create

Once the new user is created click the "Set Password" action icon to set a new password for your user

Enter a password for your new user and click Set Password.


Welcome Email Template
