Getting Started

Choose your role for a guide tailored to exactly what you need to know on day one.

Start with your role

Every APBnet™ user has exactly one of these. Pick yours for a guide built around exactly what you need to know. You can find your role by clicking on your user profile in the upper right corner of the app.

Creator

You create and send bulletins. Get your distribution tools, subscriptions, and inbox set up right.

Viewer

You receive and search bulletins but don't create them. Learn your Local Feed, inbox tabs, and Photo Search.

Understand agency admins

These four permissions are additive — layered on top of your Creator or Viewer role, not a replacement for it. Click your profile in the upper right and select Admin to see who holds them at your agency, or to access the utilities yourself if you’ve been granted one.
