The extension BlueSpiceUserManager provides the visual interface for user administration.
About the User manager
Administrators can access the User manager in the Global actions menu under Administration > Users (link to page Special:UserManager). It shows an editable list of all user accounts.
Create a user account
To create a user account:
- Click the "+ Add"-button. This opens a dialog.
Create a user account - Enter the user information in the dialog:
- Username: must be unique and cannot contain special characters
- Password and Confirm password: The password for the new user.
- Real name: can be a duplicate of an existing user's real name (optional)
- Email: The email address of the user (optional)
- Groups: a user can be assigned to multiple groups. If no group is selected, the user belongs to the default group user.
- Click Save to create the user account.
Tip:If you do not want to provide the new user with a password that is known to you, you can create the user account via the page Special:CreateAccount instead. It is, however, not possible to assign a user group to the new account during account creation on that page.
Edit a user account
By selecting one or more users in the list, two options are available above the list of users:
- Edit groups: Assign groups to these user account(s)
- Block users: Disable/enable user accounts. A user account cannot be deleted.
In addition, some functions are available for each individual user on the right on the table:
- Pen icon: Edit real name, email or groups
- Change password: Change the password.
- Block user: Disable/enable user account. A user account cannot be deleted.
Tip:User groups can be set for multiple users at the same time by selecting the users and clicking on the "groups" icon above the grid. This resets the groups for the selected users and assigns the newly chosen groups.
Inactive users
By default, the list displays users with active user accounts (enabled).
To view inactive users, click on "Show blocked users".
Note:User accounts cannot be deleted. They can only be disabled.
