User account management

Site administrator and media bank user accounts are managed in a separate user management view. Typically only users with administrator privileges are allowed to create, edit and delete user accounts. If a user has forgotten his or her password, an administrator may change the user's password or send the user a link that permits the user to set a new password.

1. To access user management, click the lock icon in the top bar.

Creating a user account

1. In order to create a new user account, select "All users" or a specific group from the left sidebar, and then click the "Create user" toolbar button located at the top right of the screen. You can also create a user by clicking the addition button marked with a plus sign in the Users header of the sidebar.

2. Enter the user account name (e-mail address), and personal details.

3. Select the group the user will be added as a member of.

A user can belong to one or more groups as necessary.

4. Select the new user's interface language, time zone and locale. The locale setting controls e.g. number formats.

You can define the user's password by entering it into the Password field or alternatively send an activation e-mail to the user. The recipient may then set their desired password through a link enclosed in the e-mail. After setting their password, the user is allowed access into the system.

5. To finalize creating the new user account, click Create user.

Editing user account details

1. To edit an existing user account, first locate the user in the user management view. You can browse users by group or use the search field in the top bar. Then click the action menu marked with a cog icon at the far left edge of the table row for that user.

2. Select "Edit user details".

3. You may edit the user's details by entering new information into the fields and clicking "Update user".

The collapsible Contact details section lets you enter contact information for the user if desired.

4. To set a new password for the selected user account, enter the new password into the "New password" and "Password confirmation" fields.

If desired, you can also direct the user to reset and change their own password by selecting "Yes" from the "Send password reset mail to user" dropdown menu.

5. Click "Update user".
