Edit User Settings
This screen is used to edit the account data and the user right settings (privileges) of an account in your group.
Account Data
- Name: Specify the account name.
- Contact Email Address: Specify the contact address for the account here.
The contact address is used to allow the account holder to recover from a situation where he forgot his account name and/or password. In addition, the contact address is used as the recipient address for email notifications that are sent to this account.
User Authentication
Depending on the settings configured by the system administrator for your group and/or the account you are currently editing, one of the following sections may be shown:- Authentication With Internal Password: This account's password is maintained internally
and kept private to the account holder. However, if the person owning the account in your group happens to have forgotten
the password, you can define a new, one-time password here. This password is intended for recovery only and the user is
forced to change it after having logged in with the password you configure here, thus once again having a private password.
- One-Time Password: Specify the one-time password of the account. This password overwrites any currently existing password, allowing the user to recover from a forgotten password.
- Password Confirmation: Enter the same password as in the One-Time Password field, to confirm it and avoid typos.
- LDAP Authentication: The system administrator has configured this account to authenticate through a configured standard LDAP host with a specific entry that is determined either by taking a generic pattern configured for your group or a custom value that you configure here. Even if you did not supply a custom entry name, the input field shows the value that is used for this account. You only have to change it if the value you see is incorrect.
- Windows Active Directory Authentication: The system administrator has configured this account to authenticate through a configured Windows Active Directory domain controller host, using a specific windows domain address that is determined either by prefixing the configured windows domain with the user account's name or with a custom prefix you supply here. Even if you did not supply a custom prefix, the input field shows the value that is used for this account. You only have to change it if the value you see is incorrect.
User Right Settings
The user may create new jobs: If granted, the user is allowed to create new jobs. If not granted, the user may still be allowed to collaborate on jobs other group members have created (depending on the collaboration settings of the individual jobs).
In addition, if this right is granted, you must also define who will be the owner of all jobs that this user creates:
- Created jobs are owned by this user: If selected, any jobs that the user creates are automatically owned by this user. Other users in the same group may collaborate on a job, if the collaboration settings of the individual job permit.
- Created jobs are owned by the following user:
If selected, you must also select one of the user names from the drop-down menu. The list shows all
users in your group (except for the edited user). The user account that is selected from the list
will become the owner of all jobs that are created by the edited user. In addition, the default team
collaboration settings of this owner (as defined by that user in their preferences settings) will be
applied to all such jobs after creation.
Note:The default team collaboration settings of the selected owner must include the edited user with at least one of the collaboration rights so that they are actually able to collaborate (with whatever function) on the job that they have just created.
Note: Changes to the owner settings only apply to jobs that are created after the changes are submitted. Any jobs created previously are unaffected; they remain in the ownership of the same users as they were before.
- The user may create new reports: If granted, the user is allowed to create new reports. If not granted, then the user may still be allowed to collaborate on reports other group members have created (depending on the collaboration settings of the individual reports).
- The user may administer sender profiles: If granted, the user can create new sender profiles and can edit and delete existing ones. If not granted, the user is still allowed to use all sender profiles other group members have created.
- The user may administer drop-in content elements: If granted, then the user can create new drop-in content elements and can edit and delete existing ones. If not granted, then the user is still allowed to use all drop-in elements other group members have created.
- The user may administer content templates: If granted, then the user can create new content templates and can edit and delete existing ones and can enable/disable existing templates. If not granted, then the user is still allowed to use all content templates other group members have created and enabled.
- The user may administer target groups: If granted, the user can create new recipient target groups and can edit and delete existing ones.
The user may view all jobs, reports and datasets in the group: If granted, the user is allowed to:
- View all jobs in the group, even if they are owned by other group members and no specific collaboration rights have been granted.
- Execute all reports in the group, even if they are owned by other group members and the specific "execute" right has not been granted.
- View and download all subscriber data for all datasets in the group, even if the specific "browse subscribers" right has not been granted.
If not granted, then the user may still be allowed to view jobs, execute reports and browse/download subscriber data for jobs, reports and datasets that are owned by other group members (depending on the individual collaboration settings).
