Notes About Creating and Managing Users

Go Up to Creating and Managing Users

• You cannot delete or deactivate the Admin user, but you should change the Admin password from the default, which is Admin.
• The new user appears in the user list with a star indicating that this user does not yet have any roles assigned to it for any Repository items.
• Users must log out and log in again to receive any security updates.
• The Admin does not need to know the user’s password to create a new password for the user.
• The Admin can look to the Manage Users tab to find out which users are logged in to the Repository and whether or not they currently have items checked out. Knowing if users have items checked out is particularly useful when upgrading the Repository, because after before upgrading the Repository the users should check all their items in and then do a clean get and check out of the items when the upgrade is complete. Knowing which users are logged in is useful when changing security center settings because after making any setting changes, the Admin should request online users to log off and log in again to receive the security center updates.
• The Aministrator may want to deactivate a user to prevent the user from logging into the server while the Repository is being updated. Once deactivated the user must be reactivated before they can log in to the Repository.
