To access the various features of Chorus Pro, the user must be connected to the structure on which he/she must intervene.

Each structure is firstly created and then managed and configured by a primary manager who is responsible for validating connection requests from his users.

To access these functionalities, click on the “Manager activities” area :

The overview screen below is displayed. This screen allows you, as a primary or secondary manager, to perform the following :

A. Manage connection requests to structures / services.

B. Manage area subscription requests.

C. Search and modify structures. Connect a user to a structure.

D. Get the history of the actions performed.

E. Manage and search users by structure (especially when a user outside Chorus Pro wants the activation mail to be resent).

F. Export users in order to have better visibility on their authorisations.

In the « The structure connection requests » section below :

You can :

   View the list of services related to the structure to which the user wishes to be connected (in the case that structure has services)

  Access the request and validate it

   Refuse the request ;

 or   By ticking the checkboxes, it is possible to validate/reject several requests at once.

The “validate” and “Refuse” actions (either unitary or mass) trigger a notification email informing the user about the change of status of his connection request to the required structure or service.

After clicking on the « Validate » icon, the screen below is displayed (in case of a connection request to a structure without services) : 

The manager can then view the connection request which includes :

Once his choice is made, the manager can :

Validate the request

Refuse the request

Return to the overview screen of the “Manager activities” area.

In case of a structure with services, the request presents the list of the active services for the structure :

The « Colour code » allows you to view the status of the user’s connection request to the structure :

• The « Validated status » indicates the services to which the user is already connected;
• The « Validation in progress » indicates the services to which the user isn't already connected because the Manager didn't accepted his request yet;
• The « Refused » indicates the services to which the user isn't connected because his request has been refused by the Manager;
• The « Deactivated » indicates the services to which the user has been connected but is no longer connected;
• The « Deleted » indicates the services to which the user is no longer connected;
• The absence of status indicates the services to which the user is not connected or for which he did not request a connection.

Services to which the user is already connected are checked, greyed out and are not editable.

If the manager has chosen to click on the « Refuse » button, the window below is displayed :

The manager enters the reason for refusal and clicks on the “Confirm” button to validate the refusal of the connection request.
