Example

John Doe is a traffic person who has an email address of support@radiotraffic.com.

• In the First Name column, enter John.
• In the Last Name column, enter Doe.
• In the User Name column, enter a unique user name for this account that will be easy to remember, such as John.Doe. (Don't worry too much about keeping it short; the client software is capable of remembering the account name and password. So the main thing is to make sure it's easy to remember.)
• In the Password column, enter a unique password for this account that will both be easy to remember yet really represent a true password. Passwords such as 1234, password, same as the user name or other simple and common words are not recommended. We encourage you to use uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers and punctuation characters as part of each password.
• In the Email column, enter support@radiotraffic.com (Note: This is the actual email address of the account being created.).
• For the Role column, make sure you use only one of the valid roles defined above. In this case, enter Traffic Manager.

Be sure to save the file and send the file via email to support.

As soon as we receive this file, we can configure your user accounts so you can progress on to the next step.
