Users Management

Abstract

Are you a system administrator? Check out this article and learn how to manage the system users or how to send invitations to new ones.

The Control Center provides the system administrators with the possibility to manage Users and send User invitations, by accessing the left side Users menu entry.

The Users menu

This menu entry is available only for the users having one of these two roles:

  • Administrator (Independent)

  • Administrator (belonging to an Organization)

  • Organization Administrator

Even though both of the above roles are permitted to access the Users menu, they will be granted different views, concerning the list of users. While the Administrators have no limited rights and will see the list of all system users, the Organization Administrator will only see the users in their own Organization. This restriction is also extended to the users' invitations area, hence the Organization Administrator will only be allowed to issue new invitations to users being part of their own Organization.

Tip

For more details on user permissions, please also visit the i4designer Security article.

The list of i4designer users display the following columns:

The list of i4designer users

  • Login column - displays the login username

  • E-mail column - displays the e-mail address of the user

  • First Name column - displays the first name of the user

  • Last Name column - displays the last name of the user

  • Organization column - displays the organization to which the listed user belongs to

The list and the users can be managed by the users with administrative rights, as follows:

Filtering the users' list

The Login, E-mail, First Name, Last Name , and Organization columns feature a simple search mechanism, allowing the System Administrator to easily filter the list of users.

Tip

By typing in part of the Login, the list is filtered to display only the matching results.

Sorting the users' list

Besides the filtering mechanism, the list can also be sorted as follows:

  • Sort alphabetically by Login name

  • Sort alphabetically by E-mail

  • Sort alphabetically by First Name

  • Sort alphabetically by Last Name

  • Sort by Active or Inactive status

Tip

By clicking the pointing down arrow of the Login column, the list is descendingly (Z to A) sorted in alphabetical order. If the pointing up arrow of the Login column is clicked, the list is sorted increasingly (A to Z) in alphabetical order.

Editing users

The details of a User can be updated by clicking the Edit button Edit_User_button.jpg in the Actions column.

Deactivating and Reactivating users

The System Administrators have the authority to deactivate the listed users, by clicking the corresponding button in the Actions column of the User.

Deactivating a user

To reactivate a user, the administrator can click the respective button. Just like the deactivation operation, the reactivation does not require any further confirmation. The toast message accompanying the action will confirm the change.
