Objective

To add a person to the Project Directory on an iOS mobile device.

Background

In Procore, a user is a person whose name and contact information have been added to Procore. Procore uniquely identifies its users by their email address. To create a user, the minimum requirements are:

  • Last Name. The user's surname.
  • Email Address. The unique identifier for a user in Procore. A user can be a member of one or more Procore company accounts (For example, a subcontractor who is doing work for two different head contractors (i.e., Nelson Head Contractors) could be added as a user to both companies using the same email address (i.e., john@example.com). When logging in to Procore, he would be presented with the option to choose which company account he wants to view. He can also switch between companies while logged in). 

Things to Consider

  • Required User Permissions
  • When you create a new user in a Project Directory, the user is also automatically added to the Company Directory. 
  • Personal Avatars can only be added to Procore by the end user. For details, see What is an avatar and how do I create one? 
  • You can configure what items are created with the quick create icon-plus-quick-create-mobile2.png icon, see Configure Quick Create Settings.

  • This action can be performed in offline mode. Tasks performed in offline mode sync with Procore once a network connection is reestablished.
