Editing users

When the file-based registry is used for user management, you can change the information for an existing user.

In addition to changing the user details (email address, password, and session timeout), you can also change the access permissions by assigning different roles and access collections.

To edit a user, complete the following steps:

  1. Start the Data Management Portal.
  2. Click Administration > Users.
    A list of users is displayed.
  3. Click the user name that you want to edit, and then click Edit.
    The information for the user is displayed.
  4. Change the user details as needed:
    • Email address.
    • New password (twice for confirmation).
    • New password expiration date. If a date is specified that is not valid, the expiration is set to 90 days from the current date.
    • Session timeout (in minutes).
  5. Change the roles and access permissions to meet your security requirements.
  6. The button that you click to save your changes depends on the properties that you change:
    • To save User Detail properties, click Change
    • To save Change Password properties, click Change Password
    • To save Change Role Assignment properties, click Change Role
