Account Creation
Accounts can be created in many ways:
- Manually — This option allows you to add accounts on an individual basis. Enter a user’s first name, last name and email address.
- By invitation — This option allows you to add multiple accounts using users’ email addresses. It’s the best way to create a dozen or so accounts in one go. Invitation messages will be sent immediately.
- By file import — This option, exclusive to Antidote Web and Antidote Pro, allows you to add accounts by importing a list. You can easily create a large number of user accounts at once. Sending the invitation email requires an additional step.
Tips — If your organization has recently acquired Antidote Web or Antidote Pro, read the Deployment in an Organization documentation to learn more about your options.

Tip — The optional field Unique Identifier allows you to link the account to an ID of your choosing, such as a permanent code or an employee number.
By invitation
If you are an administrator or technician for your organization, you can add one or more accounts at once with user emails. Those invited will fill in the missing information themselves. To do this, take the following steps:

- Click Invite. The invitation will be sent automatically.
Tip — To create a large number of accounts by assigning each one a Unique Identifier, we recommend that you import a list.
By file import
You can create accounts in bulk by importing a list. It is particularly useful for educational institutions or large businesses that need to provide hundreds of users access to Antidote. This function is only offered with Antidote Web and can only be used by administrators and technicians.
File templates
Begin by downloading the file templates in Excel or CSV format. These can also be accessed by clicking on Add users (B) and selecting Import a list. You can change the order of the columns in the file, but you must not make any changes to the headings; the system uses the name of each column to determine what type of content it holds.
The import file must contain the following column headings:
