Here’s the screen that will appear after clicking on Users
Actions
You can list, search, add or delete users, as well as view specific information.
Listing Users
To see a list of all existing users, make sure that there are no search terms entered in the search bar. You can also change the number of users listed per page by selecting a different number in the dropdown box at the bottom right of the screen
Searching Users
You can search for a specific user. To search users, click on the magnifying glass icon on the top right then go to the search field and type user name, last name, user name or mail. In the following example we typed “jane”, we obtained only one related user: “Jane”.
Creating a New User
To create a new user, please click on the “Create User” button at the top of the page.
A modal dialog will be displayed, please fill out all the fields and finally click on the “Submit” button. If you do not want to create a new user, please click on the “Cancel” button.
A notification will appear on the screen for a few seconds on successful creation of a new user <image below needs to be updated>
Viewing and Editing an Existing User
To view/edit a specific user, please click on the row of the name you want to edit:
A modal dialog will be displayed with the user information. To finish viewing, click on the “X” (close icon) button.
Once the dialog is displayed, to edit a specific user, simply click on the field that you want to change. In the above dialog the Externally Managed label is displayed which indicates that the user is externally managed such as the case in LDAP. Notice that since the user is externally managed, the only change that can be made for the user is the group membership.
For the user dialog displayed below, since the user is not externally managed, all the fields can be changed for the user. In this dialog, you can modify the user information such as email, first name, last name and user name, group membership, reset the user’s password and delete the user. You can also activate/de-activate the user currently being viewed by clicking on the slider labeled Enabled. Edit the fields you want to change and then click on the “Save” button. If you do not want to edit the user, please click on the “Cancel” button.
Resetting an Existing User’s Password
To reset the password of a specific user, please click on the key icon in the user modal dialog as shown in the following example.
A modal dialog will be displayed, where the admin can reset the users password. Click on Save
to reset the password.
Removing an Existing User
To remove a specific user, please click on the trash can icon located in the user modal dialog as shown in the following example.
A confirmation pop up will be displayed, please click on “Yes” to remove the user and click on “No” if you do not want to remove it.
A notification will appear on the screen for a few seconds on successful deletion of a user
Important
When a user is deleted, the deleted user cannot be re-created. Instead of deleting a user, we recommend disabling the user, which prevents them from connecting to the system.
To disable a user, simply click the Enabled
slider to turn it off and a notification snack
bar at the bottom will appear informing you that the user has been disabled successfully.
