User Management is available to both users and admins. To add, remove, or manage system users or their permissions click on the users option. A user can also be given API access while creating or editing an account, and they are given an API Key which can be used whenever they need to access API. The application displays the User Management screen.
Edit User
Those with user-level privileges may edit only their own information. To edit a user’s information, click on the user name or on the Edit icon . Edit the full username, password, name, contact information, or privileges as desired. Click on the Save button at the bottom of the screen to save the changes. To return to the User Management screen without making changes, click the Cancel button.
Delete User
Only admins may delete a user. To delete a user from the list, such as when an employee leaves the company or installation, click the Delete icon . The application asks you to confirm the deletion.
