Users¶

Introduction¶

The main purpose of this module is to create and manage users. Also, to consult the information related to a user, to check the status of their rights and permissions.

User creation¶

Note

Only Admin or Superadmin are allowed to create users.

To perform this action, the first step needed is to go to the users module.

Tip

By marking the “Send invitation mail” checkbox, the new user will receive an email with instructions to install and setup Laby for the first time.

User detailed access¶

Depending on your role in the company, the information to which you will have access for each user will be different:

As a non admin user, you can access to the general part of any users, in read only.

If you access to you own detailed window, you can access to all your personal information, your rights, and your password.

If you are an admin, you access and edit all the users information, except the password which is manageable only by the user itself.

Note

An inactive user:

Will no longer be able to login.

Will loose all rights.

Mail invitation¶

Inside the settings tab, you can send an email with instructions about the installation and setup of Laby. This is specially useful after creating an user for the first time.

Note

Remember that you can send this email during the user creation, or in this tab at anytime you need it.

Deletion and Deactivation¶

The user who has the rights can delete the account or deactivate it. In case of deletion, it will no longer be possible to recover the data and documents inside it.

Important

In order to delete an user, there must be nothing linked to it (equipment, tests, projects, etc.).

In case of deactivation, the user will not appear as available/visible in the software modules, but the data will continue to be saved and the person responsible can reactivate it later. Other effects:

User will be not able to login.
User will disappear in user selections (pickers) by default.
User will remain in the right groups.

Below is the screen where it is possible to carry out both actions using the “Delete” and “Deactivate” buttons.
