Issue Owner Portal Log In through Web Access Wizard

This article will assist you to issue web access number and temporary password to a Lot Owner, Committee Member, Building Manager. We will use the one term 'Lot Owner'.

This article will also guide you in resetting passwords.

Note that once the temporary password is issued, management of password is taken by the Lot Owner. They will automatically be required to create a new password, which they must remember.  If they cannot remember their password, they will click 'forgot password' and reset it, or they can ask your office to send them a reset password email.  They also will need to periodically change their password. Passwords are no longer visible to Users of Strata Master or Support.

This instruction can be used for Issuing Access to all Lots of a New Plan, or individual selected Lots.

Locating the Web Access Wizard

Select 'Configure' in your top toolbar

Click on 'Web Access Wizard' toward the bottom of the menu list

On that  screen you will see a section for 'Issue Usernames and Passwords'

Difference Between the 3 Options

• All Plans/contacts is literally a list of all plans and contacts. You will be able to see who has access allowed and a web access number already issued.
• Individual Plan/contact allows you to select one Plan and is most commonly used for issuance of access for a New Plan.
• Manage Notifications will provide a list of all Lots that have not been provided with access.

You are able to provide Web Access from Individual Plan/contact, which gives more opportunity to select, and Manage notifications.

Please read through the instructions below to plan your options, before commencing.
