Creating and administering user accounts

This page is OBSOLETE. New version can be found here.

In freshly installed NorfelloCMMS there are two user accounts "admin" and "user" with passwords "admin" and "user" respectively, which also serve as examples of user accounts. User account "admin" can be used to configure and administer NorfelloCMMS and also to perform all kinds of everyday tasks. User account "user" is meant for everyday usage.

You can find more information about rights for user accounts from the Introduction to access control and asset permissions.

To create a new user account in NorfelloCMMS you have to:

You should now see the new user account in the user account listing. The user account we created can't yet be used to access NorfelloCMMS, because the user doesn't have keys and asset permissions, which are required to gain access to functions and data stored in NorfelloCMMS. Learn about keys and asset permissions from Introduction to access control and asset permissions.

Editing user accounts

A user with administrative rights can edit user accounts by clicking Edit in the user account listing. You can edit all accounts information except username and also password can be resetted, when someone forgets one. The editing page also contains additional information about the user account like creation, modification and accessing times and keyrings for the user account.
