Users¶
Admin → Users → Users list is where accounts are created and maintained. The list loads from the server: search, ordering, and paging apply to the whole user table, not just the rows on screen.
The new user form: required fields are marked with a red asterisk.
The list¶
| Behaviour | Detail |
|---|---|
| Search | By username, full name, or email |
| Order | Click a column header; ordering applies to every page, so the first page of Username descending shows the last user alphabetically |
| Columns | Choose which columns are visible; the avatar column always stays first, and your choice is remembered between sessions |
| Open | Double-click a row to edit it, or select it and use View for a read-only form without a Save button |
| Total | The footer counts every user in the workspace |
Create a user¶
| Field | Rule |
|---|---|
| First name, Last name | Required. Accents, ñ, apostrophes, hyphens, and dots are accepted; digits and emoji are not |
| Username | Required and unique. A duplicate is reported on the field itself |
| Required and unique | |
| Role | Required, default Operator |
| Status | Active or Inactive |
| Due date | Optional; a past date is refused |
| Date of birth | Optional; the user must be 18 or older when it is set |
| Password, Confirm password | Required; the two must match |
| Photo | JPG, PNG, GIF, or WebP, up to 2 MB, cropped to a square. Without a photo the user shows their initials |
Saving opens a confirmation; Cancel in that confirmation keeps the form open and saves nothing.
Edit, deactivate, delete¶
- Edit reopens the same form with the values loaded. Leaving the password empty keeps the current one.
- Activate and Deactivate apply to one or several selected users and ask for confirmation first; the confirmation names the user or the count.
- Delete also asks for confirmation. Deleting removes the account; deactivating only blocks sign-in.
- Users marked as protected cannot be edited or deleted from this page.
Photos¶
The upload opens a square crop. A PDF or a file over 2 MB is refused with a message and the crop does not open, so the current photo stays.
Passwords¶
Administrators can set a password and require a change at the next sign-in. Password recovery for end users needs an email server; see Email servers.
Permissions¶
This page requires PM_USERS. The codes are listed in
