Users

Note

This page describes the standard user management in the Nerve Blue Management System. When LDAP authentication is active, user attributes and details are carried over from an LDAP server. Refer to LDAP for more information on LDAP synchronization.

This menu offers a list of all registered users. Every user has their own user profile with details about the user. There is one default user that is created with the Management System. The credentials for this user can be found in the customer profile.

Item	Description
Search bar (1)	Use the search bar to filter the list of users. The columns FIRST NAME, LAST NAME and EMAIL are the targets of the search.

EMAIL (6)	This is the e-mail address of the user. It is used as the username for logging in to the Management System in case of local authentication. When LDAP authentication is active, the username attribute that is carried over from LDAP synchronization is used to log in.

Note that passwords cannot be changed or reset if LDAP authentication is active.
TYPE (7)	This column shows the type of the user according to the authentication method used: Local This describes users that are created locally through the Management System. They authenticate against the Management System itself when logging in. LDAP This describes users that are created following an LDAP synchronization.

This includes First name, Last name, Select language and Role. The e-mail address of a user cannot be changed. The password for an account can only be changed by the respective user. Note that users cannot be edited when LDAP authentication is active.

The activation e-mail is sent automatically by the Management System shortly after the user is created.

Activating a user

Newly created users are sent an activation link to the specified e-mail address when the user was created. Following the link, the user will need to set their password in order to be activated and to be able to log in to the Management System.
