This section describes how to add, edit, and delete user accounts in your ICA-AtoM application.
Add a new user
Every user of the system who needs to be able to create, edit or delete database content must have a user account. Only administrators can create new user accounts.
- In the Admin menu, select Users. This will take you to a list of current user accounts.
- Click add new in the button block at the bottom of the list. ICA-AtoM routes you to a blank edit page.
-
In the Basic info information area enter the following data:
In Username enter the user's name;
In Email enter the user's email address; the email address (rather than the user name) is used when logging in.
In Password enter the user's default password. Note that users can later change their own password (see Change password).
In Confirm password enter the password again.
-
In the Access control information area Select the appropriate user group. The user group determines the user's access privileges.
For more on user roles, see UM-2.3 User roles.
You can add multiple user roles to an account; for example, a user may need both editor and translator access privileges.
To remove a user role from a user account, click the little circle to the left of it in the edit page.
You can create new user roles by adding new groups. See Add and edit groups, below.
You can refine user permissions in the groups and permissions information area: see Refine user permissions, below.
- Click Create. ICA-AtoM creates the new account and routes you to the view page (View user profile).
