Users Database
User access is controlled by a system of Groups and Users. Groups are defined with certain permissions, and then users are added to those groups. Users must belong to at least one group to be able to access the system at all.
The database screen is divided in to two sections: a list of users on the left, and the settings editor on the right.
List of Users
At the top of the list are tabs that may be used to organize users. Right-clicking the tabs will display a list of tab options including creating, deleting and renaming tabs and removing selected users from a tab.
The "All" tab always contains all users. It can not be changed, deleted or renamed.
Right-clicking a user in the list will display a menu with the following options:
- New Item - Create a new user.
- Delete Items - Delete the selected user(s)
- Duplicate Item - Duplicate the selected user. The name of the newly created user must then be changed in the settings editor.
- Filter List - Allows entering text for filtering the list of users. Type any text and click "Ok" to display only users that contain that text.
Hold down the Ctrl key and click a user to select multiple users. Hold down the Shift key and click a user to select all users from the highlighted user to the newly clicked user.
Settings Editor
Clicking a user in the list will fill the editor with the settings for that user. Once any changes have been made to the settings, the changes must be applied or canceled before clicking a new user in the list.
Settings Tab
Full Name
This is the full name of the user. It will appear in the list to the left.
Username
This is the username used to log in to the system.
Password/Confirm Password
This is the password used to log in to the system.
For security reasons, passwords are not stored as text and are not recoverable. If a user forgets their password, a new password must be entered here.
Group Membership
This is the list of groups to which this user belongs. The user will be able to access all functions that all group they belong to can access.
Check each group to which this users should belong. There are "Check all" and "Uncheck all" buttons in the upper-right to make selecting easier.
The Administrator always has access to all functions and belongs to all groups. His group membership can not be changed.
Contact Tab
Email Address
This is the email address of the user. This must be accurate for this user to receive email from the system.
Contact Information
This can be any contact information desired for this user.
