[Important] Changing User Roles

Users - including administrators - cannot change their own System Account flag or role. This can only be done from another user account that has the Administrator role.

10.3.1.4. Creating a new User

Clicking the New button creates a new user account ( Figure 10.5). The Username, Role, Full Name, and E-Mail attributes can be set here.

When the Save button is clicked, a dialog will appear for each new user account to set the Password and System Account flag ( Figure 10.6).

The “Save New User” Dialog

Figure 10.6. The Save New User Dialog


Per default users of the role Administrator or Manager are able to create new user accounts. Users of the role Manager can only create accounts of the role Tester or Guest.

[Tip] Restricting Account Creation to Administrators

If a more restrictive policy is desired, the Only Administrators can create Users setting can be used. See Section 10.4.1, “Miscellaneous” for more information.

10.3.1.5. Deleting a User

Clicking the icon page deactivates the user account. Only users of the role Administrator can see and reactivate deactivated user accounts.

[Note] User accounts can only be deactivated, not deleted!

By toggling the Only Active and Show All button above the table, administrators can hide or show deactivated user accounts.

Instead of deleting user accounts, they can be merged with other existing user accounts. This operation will delete all user accounts to be merged except the remaining account.

10.3.2. Details Page

Each user account has its own detail page with several additional tabs. Clicking on the ID of the respective user account or on the icon on the right in the action column takes you to the tab that was selected last. When called for the first time, this is the Overview tab.
