Add, Modify and Delete Users

User Management will be enabled only when you license the software. When you apply a valid license, a link 'User Administration' will be made visible as part of the Quick Links at the top right corner of the screen. This will be visible only for users who have privilege to handle user management operations.

Adding User

Click on the 'User Administration' link on the top and it will bring up a dialog as shown below. Click on the 'Add New User' link at the top right corner. On clicking the following fields at the bottom will be enabled to get inputs about the new user.

• User Name: Provide the name of the new user, which will be equivalent to the login name. This should be unique
• Password: Provide the default password for the new user
• Retype Password: Retype the above password in this field
• Allowed Operations: Check the operations relevant for this new user
  • Compare: This operation will be allowed for all users. With this privilege users can perform schema comparison using DBChangeManager.
  • Synchronize: Select this, if you want to allow the new user to synchronize databases using DBChangeManager.
  • Audit: Select this, if you want to allow the new user to perform audit on the synchronizations done using DBChangeManager.
  • User Management: Select this, if you want to allow the new user to perform user management operations which include user addition, modification and deletion.

Once you provide the required details, click on the 'Add' button at the bottom to add the user. You can add as many user logins as allowed by Registered License that you have purchased.

Deleting User

To delete a user, click on the 'Delete' link adjacent to the corresponding user in the User Management Dialog.

Editing Privileges of a User

You could modify the privileges provided to a user login as follows:

• Select the corresponding user in the users list
• Details about the user selected will be furnished below
  • Reset Password: Check this if you want to reset the password of this user. The password will be reset to the user name itself by default.
  • Allowed Operations: Check/Uncheck the required operation(s), based on the privilege that you wish to provide to this user
    • Synchronize: Select this, if you want to allow the new user to synchronize databases using DBChangeManager.
    • Audit: Select this, if you want to allow the new user to perform audit on the synchronizations done using DBChangeManager.
    • User Management: Select this, if you want to allow the new user to perform user management operations which include user addition, modification and deletion.

Once you have done the required modifications, you could apply the latest settings by clicking the 'Save' button.

Note: Ensure that atleast one user will contain the privilege to do User Management operations. If not, you would have no user with the privilege to handle user management anytime later. Also it is recommended to provide 'User Management' privileges to only one user, who typically would be the overall administrator of the DBChangeManager system.
