How To Manage Permit Portal Users

User accounts for citizens who have signed up for the permit portal are accessible in CityReporter. Here you can view/edit their contact information, change their passwords, and unlock accounts for users who had too many failed login attempts. You can also view which permits a user has applied for through the portal.

1. Log into CityReporter using your city code, username, and password. Select the Permits & Construction module button on the left, then click on Permit Management at the top of the screen. You must have a module role of Permit Manager, Setup Manager, or Administrator to access Permit Management.
