2.2 Create CHPS User Accounts
This section provides information on setting up user accounts in CHPS.
Each forecaster must have two accounts in order to use CHPS. One account accesses the Stand Alone, the other for the Operator Client.

As System Manager, you must have a user “fews” account in addition to the two user accounts (described above) in order to perform some of the system management tasks.
You also need to have an account for the Administration Interface. We will talk about those accounts in Lesson 3.
New forecasters need an AWIPS account before obtaining CHPS accounts.
