Museum Help - Users

Users

When you click the "Users" link in the administration menu, you are presented with a list of current users that can be edited or deleted, and also given an option to create a new user:

There is always a "nologin" account. This is a special account that represents a user that has not logged in. This allows the administrator to specify what permissions apply for users that have not logged in.

Creating a New User

Click the "Add New User" button shown above.

You are presented with a form to enter the new user details:

You specify the user name / login name to be used.

You can assign the user to have administrator permissions or otherwise assign different permissions for each repository.

Set the password and retype it to confirm.

User Permissions

If you set a user to have administrator access, they have permission to use the Administrative Interface and also to search, submit and delete documents from every repository.

Alternatively, you can individually control which repositories the user has search and submit access to. (See the Permissions section of the screenshot above)

Search permission means the user can search that repository.

Submit permission means the user can submit documents to the repository. Submit permission does not permit document deletion.

Edit User Settings

To change the settings for a user, first select the "edit" link on one of the rows of the user list.

Edit any settings and press Save.

To change a user password, select the "Change password" link and enter the new password twice to confirm.

Removing a User

To delete a user, select the "delete" link on one of the rows of the user list.

You will be asked to confirm the deletion.
