Using DocumentManager - Manage Users General Information The Manage Users dialog allows an administrator to add a new user, change a user's password, set a user's padlock, and promote or demote a user's access to your account.This dialog is accessible via the DocumentManager menu's "Manage Users" item. Adding a User Clicking on the "Add User" toolbar button prompts you to enter basic information for the new user. Submitting that information by clicking the OK button will create the new user with a contact type of "Resource: Internal". The new user will not have administrative privileges to the account.Changing a User's Password Clicking on the "Change Password" button allows you to change the password for a user. Once the user's password has been changed, that user will need to re-enter the new password the next time they log in to PortalsXpress.Changing a User's Type Clicking on the "Change Type" button allows you to change the user's type. The four user types are described below:
User's Padlock The Padlock toolbar button can be used to create padlocks, edit padlocks, and set a user's padlock. If a user has a padlock, it is applied to anything that user creates (i.e., contacts, digital folders, projects, etc.) Padlocks control who can view, read, add, edit, and delete information. Click here for an overview of padlocks.Use the "Remove User's Padlock" toolbar button to unset a user's padlock. Anything that user creates will no longer get padlocked automatically. PortalsXpress's padlocks are incredibly versatile, and can be adapted to enforce almost any security model you & your organization may require. And by granting keys to your users, understanding who can access what becomes as simple as knowing who can enter your office building!
Company ABC, Inc. has a sales team and each member has their own region. An account administrator creates and assigns a padlock to each member of the sales team that grants them and their manager full access (Visible, Read, Add, Edit, and Delete). Each sales team members then adds the clients in their region to ContactManager. The sales manager can then see ALL of the clients, but each sales team member can only see THEIR region's contacts. |
