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 add, edit, or delete database content must have a user account. Only administrators can add new user accounts.

1. 

   Fig. 1 In the "Admin" menu, select "Users"
   In the admin menu, select "Users" (Fig. 1). This will take you to a list of current user accounts.

2. 

   Fig. 2 Enter the data in the user edit page, then click "Create"
   Click "Add new" in the button block at the bottom of the list. ICA-AtoM routes you to a blank edit page.

3. In the "Basic info" information area enter the following data (Fig. 2):

   • 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

4. In the "Access control" information area Select the appropriate user group (Fig. 2). The user group, or user role determines the user's access privileges.

   For more on user roles, see 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 add new user roles by adding new groups. See add a new group.

   You can refine user permissions in the groups and permissions information area, see edit permissions.

5. Click "Create". ICA-AtoM creates the new account and routes you to the view page (view user profile).

Add a new group

1. 

   Fig. 3 Click "Add new" in the column header to add a new group
   In the admin menu, select "Groups". This will take you to a list of current groups. Click "Add new" in the column header (Fig. 3).

2. 

   Fig. 4 Enter data in the edit page, then click "Create"
   In "Name" enter the name of the group you wish to add (e.g. "Volunteer"). Add a description, then click "Create" (Fig. 4).

3. At this point you will need to add access privileges for this group. For information on how to do that, see edit permissions.
