Users list¶

The users list shows only the activated users by default. To view all users (activated, registered and locked users), change the status filter to 'all'.

• Login: The login of the user.

• Firstname: The firstname of the user.

• Lastname: The lastname of the user.

• Email: The email adress of the user.

• Administrator: If the icon is present, the user is designated as an administrator who has unrestricted access to the application and to all projects.

• Created: Indicates the date when this user account has been created.

• Last connection: Indicates the date when this user logged into the application the last time.

User status¶

Depending on the global configuration users can have several statuses:

• activated
  • This icon means that the account is activated. A user having an activated account can log in and access the application.
• locked
  • This icon means that the account is locked. A user having a locked account cannot log in and access the application.
• registered
  • This icon can also mean that the account is registered. A user having a registered account cannot log in and access the application. (TODO, explain and add references)

The Lock/Unlock buttons let you lock/unlock the activated users and the Activate button let you activate registered users.

A user designated as an administrator has unrestricted access to the application and to all the projects.
