Users

Introduction

The user management feature allows a multi client workflow. This ensures no mutual interference between users and that processes can be conducted simultaneously.

Furthermore, every user has a role which is connected to certain permissions in our platform. Due to that, authorizations and process approvals in the different facilities can be mapped accordingly in our systems.

Description

Functionalities

The user view shows a list of all users, along with first name, surname, user name, assigned role, and assigned facilities sorted in alphabetical order (A-Z) by surname.

Creating users

Only users with the right permissions are allowed to create other users.

• The username has to be unique. Umlauts are converted automatically to their character-friendly equivalents, e.g., “ö” becomes “oe” and “ß” becomes “ss”.

• When entering a password the security level of the password is indicated. It must be at least 6 characters.

• When creating or editing a user, the language in which Backoffice and App are shown by default can be defined.

Editing and deleting users

Users can be deleted. Users can also delete themselves.

If a user loses the permission to perform an action (due to a role change, a facility change or deletion of the user itself) the user gets logged out of the app or the Backoffice. If there are still jobs such as pick jobs assigned to the user, the jobs are set back to open status and all data is reset.

Permissions

There are no functionalities within our apps that require a certain role.

FAQs

How to add users and define the role?

4. Enter the user data and select the role for this user

   

Special case: Supervisor with multiple facilities assigned.

It is possible to create a user with the role "supervisor" who has more than one facility assigned. Such a supervisor with multiple facilities might be something like a regional manager. This can be done via API and is not possible within our FE. The corresponding frontend will be implemented in the near future. Such a call might look like this:

{
    "firstname": "Name",
    "lastname": "Name",
    "username": "Name",
    "password": "xyz123",
    "roles": [
        {
            "name": "SUPERVISOR",
            "facilities": [
                "FacilityID 1",
                "FacilityID 2",
                "FacilityID 3"
            ]
        }
    ]
}
