• Untick Login Allowed. 

Alternatively, delete the startup user; see Deleting Users, below.

Lists 

Anchor
detailedUserList detailedUserList

You can view and manage user accounts:

• either in the Full Repository →  

  Insert excerpt
  _user_repo _user_repo nopanel true

   section
• or in the user list. This list summarizes the information for all users, including the date and time of the last action performed by each user.
  

• To open the user list, in the repository, right-click 

  Insert excerpt
  _user_repo _user_repo nopanel true

   and select 

  Insert excerpt
  _list_show _list_show nopanel true

  .

Users are classed as local, mixed or external depending on their authentication and authorisation configuration; see User.

• The user list groups users by these types.
• In the repository, users are grouped by the domain from which they authenticate or local, for users whose authentication is managed by PhixFlow.
  You can change users from local to mixed and mixed to local by dragging the user to a different domain in the repository. 

Creating Users

To add a

new user account you must have the privilege Administer Users, User Groups and Roles and Create User.

Either, in the repository, right-click 

Associating Multiple Users to a User Group

If you are creating multiple new users who require the same

user group then these

users can be added in bulk to the

user group.

1. In the repository, create each user individually

1. . 
2. In the repository, open the user group to which you want to associate the users.
3. Open the user list. Select all the users you

1. want to add from the

1. user group. Use Shift+click or Ctrl+click to select multiple users.
2. Drag the selected list into the Group Members tab of the

1. user group.

Adding users to the user group properties tab has the same effect as adding user groups to the user properties.

For more information on who can add or remove user group access to a

user, see the User Group page Access Permission section.

Deleting Users

User accounts are referenced in several places within PhixFlow

. For example a user may be the recipient of emails sent by file exporters or task plans. If a user account is deleted, all references to that user will be removed.

Log messages and audit trails will still maintain a record of the actions performed by a deleted user.

To delete a single user

from the repository:

1. In the repository, expand the 

   Insert excerpt
   _user_repo _user_repo nopanel true

    section.
2. Right-click a user account.
3. Select 

   Insert excerpt
   _delete _delete nopanel true

   .

To delete multiple users from the user list:

1. Open the user list. Select all the user accounts you want to delete.
2. At the top of the list, click 

   Insert excerpt
   _delete _delete nopanel true

   .

PhixFlow warns you that you are about to delete

one or more users.

• Click Cancel to quit without deleting the

• selected users.
