Beach sites are special sites with unique attributes. The site menu on beach sites only lists Beach Details and Authorized Users.

Creating a Site

Sites can be created by external or internal users.

Creating a Site as an External User

External users can create a new site by starting a new application form. If the user is already associated with a site, they can click the Create New Site button. If they aren’t associated with any sites, they will be prompted to enter a new site name on the form.

When an external user creates a site, they are automatically assigned an administrator role for it. Administrators can edit site details, invite and deactivate users, and request certifier permissions for other users.

Depending on system configuration, a user’s certifier status may also default to “Approved” when they create a site, allowing them to submit forms that require certifier status.

Creating a Site as an Internal User

Internal users can create a site by clicking the Create New Site, Person or Organization button on the Basic or Advanced Search pages.
