User Overview

User Overview

The logins of your staff for the administration with their role (administrator, management, instructor, provider, user). Here you create new accounts, change roles and passwords and remove accounts.

Login runs via the central login (Keycloak); the username is the email address. The role determines what someone may see and change. A user can be assigned to several tenants – a badge then shows the number.

Important: customers and instructors do not get their logins here but automatically via the customer or instructor record. This list is for your team.

Selection

Checkbox to mark users for “Delete”. For users with several tenants, only the assignment to your tenant is removed; the login remains for the others.

Your own user cannot be deleted.

ID

Internal number of the user.

Only relevant internally.

Email / username

The login name – an email address to which activation and password emails are also sent. Must be unique.

A badge next to it shows if the user is assigned to several tenants.

Role

What the user may do: administrator (everything incl. administration), management (day-to-day business without administration settings), instructor (own courses only), provider (own courses, locations, instructors only), user (customer rights).

  • Administrator – all functions of the tenant, including application data and users.
  • Management (manager) – courses, orders, invoices, customers, email; no administration settings.
  • Instructor – own courses, participant lists, attendance, calendar.
  • Provider – courses, locations and instructors of their own provider (only when provider management is switched on).
  • User – customer rights (profile, own orders).

Give the smallest role that is sufficient for the task.

Created

When the account was created.

For orientation.

Edited

When the role, password or login name was last changed.

For orientation.

Actions

Eye = view user. Pencil = edit (login name, password, role).

You set a password anew via the pencil; alternatively the user uses “Forgot password” on the login page.

Delete

Removes the marked accounts after confirmation. If a user belongs only to your tenant, they are deleted completely; if they also belong to other tenants, only your assignment is removed.

Users with linked data (e.g. as a provider) cannot be deleted; a message lists them. Your own account is protected.

Create New User

Creates a login for a team member: email as login name, a starting password and the role. The user is created at the central login at the same time.

Tell the new user the login name and starting password; they can change it after the first login. If the email already exists (e.g. as a customer), an error message appears.

Edit User

Login name and role of an account. The user sets a new password themselves – via “Send password-setting email”.

Changes to the login name are transferred to the central login – the user then logs in with the new address.

Email / username

Required field: a valid email address that is not yet taken. It is the login name; activation and password emails go to it.

Use personal addresses, not shared mailboxes – otherwise several people share one password.

Password

Starting password with at least eight characters, only when creating. It counts as temporary at the central login: at the first login the user sets their own.

When editing there is no password field – there you send the user an email to set the password.

Repeat password

The same password once more – protection against typos. If the two do not match, saving is rejected.

Only when creating.

Send password-setting email

Sends the user an email with a link through which they set a new password themselves. It applies at the central login; you never learn it.

A new email invalidates the link of the previous one. The link is valid until the user has used it.

save

Creates the user or applies changes (“User created/saved”). When creating, the account is first created at the central login – if that fails, an error message appears and nothing is saved.

Duplicate email addresses are rejected with a message.

cancel

Back to the user overview without saving.

Input is lost.
