Users Management

New users can be created from the home menu User & Group Managament/Add New. Existing users can be update selecting Users & Groups Management / Users Management menu and selecting the record to manage from the list.

NB: access to users creation and administration is limited to users having administrative role (see later).

Users shall be activated (in status "Active") to be operational. In other statuses, users are not active (they cannot login into Easyboards®) nor they are counted as licensed users.

Users information are organized in three sections:

  • Details
  • Privileges
  • Password Management

The table below reports the fields and a short description of them:

Section Field Description
Details Name Name of the user.
Details Surname Surname of the user
Details Username Login name used to access Easyboards®.
Details Email Email of the user.
Details Status Status of the user. Possible statuses are "Inactive" (when initially created) or Active.
Details Admin This field may have two possible values "Yes" or "No". If set to "Yes" the user has administrative privileges and can perform special tasks such as users and groups administration but also manage settings.
Details Language The application interface language set for the user. Supported languages are currently "English", "French" and "Italian". "Spanish" will come next.
Details Timezone Timezone of the user.

Password Management New Password, Old Password, Confirm New Password These fields work together, enter a new password in New Password, enter the previous password in Old Password, confirm the new password in Confirm New Password and press CHANGE PASSWORD to change the user password.

Note that when the environment is initially created, a user with administrative role is created and activated using subscription information. The access credentials of this user are sent by mail.
