Users

Creating users

To add a new account, you must possess at least a second level profile.

Follow the three following steps:

User profile

  • Add a new account

By clicking the + Add new account button, you are able to add a new account. You must complete the resource’s username, email, given name, surname, tenant, country, and password. To confirm, click the Proceed button at the bottom of the form.

User profile

You are then able to activate the user or set the account as a technical user.

You can possibly copy the permissions from another user to speed up the profile creation.

Activate the account

Status Active Toggle to enable the user to log in.
Technical user The technical user can interact solely with the REST API, therefore, this user cannot interact and log in with the web browser.

Note that a first level profile cannot set itself as a technical user (an admin has to do that).

After you have created the account, you are automatically redirected to the relevant profile.

Managing users

The "Agent enabled" flag, if enabled, allows the user to use the Task Mining Agent for registrations. If the flag is not enabled, the user will not have permission to use the Task Mining Agent.

  • Add to group

Finally, go to the member of tab where the user’s groups are displayed. From this pane, you can add a user to a specific group by clicking + Add to group. Once the user is added to that group, the user is granted the group’s permissions.

Add to group
