Administering Users
The user administration form is accessible via the main menu. Select Admin->Users. This menu item may be disabled for users that do not have administrative permissions.
Users Overview
For users to access the Speed Test database via the desktop application or to use the web application to access reports, they must have a login. A login can be obtained in one of two ways, both of which normally require administrative action. The user can user the web interface to register, in which case they are assigned the default role. By default, this is a web only role, meaning that the user can only access reports. To give them additional permissions, the administrator must edit the user's role. The administrator can also create a user without having him or her go through the registration process.
Adding a user
To add a user, click the plus sign next to the list of users. Enter the user's full name, the User Name that he or she will use to log in, a password and a role for that user. All of these entries are required. When finished, click the save button at the bottom of the form.
Deleting a user
To delete a user, click the minus sign next to the list of users. The selected user will be permanently deleted. This action cannot be undone and may affect reports, so use care.
Editing a user
To edit a user, select the user in the list and click the edit icon at the bottom of the form.
Permissions
Only users with the proper permissions may administer users. Depending on the assigned role, one or more of the icons may be disabled.
