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.

Open the welcome email template link (open welcome email template link) and fill in the new users email and password in the fields outlined and click Send.
​

Adding a Client User to your site

Go to Sites > Search for your site > Click View Site icon (eye icon)
