User Management

On the users page, you can manage which users are registered to the Enterprise server.

Create a User

  1. In the top-right corner of the page, click the "Add User" button.
  2. Fill out the user's username and password. Click "Save" or "Save and continue editing" (see next step).
  3. Optionally, fill out the user's personal information. You may also assign a user staff or superuser status to grant them extra permissions (see below for further explanation).
  4. Click "Save".

Disable a User

Users cannot be deleted in the Enterprise server because this would break snapshot attribution. Users can only be disabled, which can be performed by:

  1. In the list of users, click the name of the user you want to edit to navigate to a form for editing them.
  2. In the Permissions section of the form, un-check the "Active" box.
  3. Click "Save".

Modify a User's Metadata

  1. In the list of users, click the name of the user you want to edit to navigate to a form for editing them.
  2. In the form, you may change the user's personal information or modify their staff or superuser status (see below for further explanation).
  3. Click "Save".

Change a User's Password

User passwords are stored in an unrecoverable hashed format. If a user ever forgets their password, it must be reset to something known.

  1. In the list of users, click the name of the user you want to edit.
  2. In the form, next to the Password field, click the link titled "You can change the password using this form".
  3. Enter the user's new password in both boxes.
  4. Click "Change Password". You should see "Password changed successfully" in green at the top of the page.

Give a User Staff or Superuser Permissions

  1. In the list of users, click the name of the user you want to edit.
  2. In the form, check the staff status or superuser status boxes depending on what level of permissions you want to assign to the user.
    • Staff status: Allows the user to access parts of the Enterprise server admin interface, but not necessarily all projects.
    • Superuser status: Allows the user all permissions on all projects and all permissions in the admin interface, including the ability to create and delete other superusers.
  3. Click "Save".

Add or Remove a User from Group(s)

  1. In the list of users, click the name of the user you want to edit.
  2. In the "Permissions" section, a list of available group(s) and a list of chosen group(s) for the user should be shown. Click the group you want to modify and use the left and right arrows in the middle to move the group(s) you'd like to add/remove to the appropriate list.
  3. Click "Save".
