User Management

Starting User Management

After you have clicked on the Admin Users button. You'll see the users already defined and their real name, in which group they belong and whether they have administrator rights for the group they belong to. Also you see the different options of the user management. These options are respectively:

Add a user: Here you can add user to an existing group. The fields you have to fill in are:
- 'Full name': Fill in the full name of the user you want to add. It has no maximum length.
- 'User name': Type the username. This is the login name of the new user. You cannot add a user with a login name that already exists. It has to be 10 characters or less.
- 'Password': Type the password of the new user. It has to be 10 characters or less.
- 'Password re type': Type here the same password as you typed above. A new user is only added if the two passwords are the same. This is to reduce the risk of typing errors.
- 'Group': Select the group you want the new user to belong to. If you want to add him to a group that doesn't exist and you are a systemadmin go to the admin groups-button on the menu at the left handside of your computerscreen. After you have added a new group you can add your new user in your just added group. If you are not a sysadmin ask your sysadmin to add a new group for you.
- 'Group-admin': Click on this checkbox if you want to give the new user groupadmin rights.
- All fields have to be either text or numbers or other signs.

Modify a user: Here you can modify the settings of this user. For more information how to fill in the data see add a user.

Delete a user: Here you can delete an user. After confirming that you want to delete the user, you will get a message that the user has been removed. If the user who you want to delete is still the owner of a few images, you can decide to delete them or make them accessible for the whole group before deleting the user.
