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.

More information can be found under Products – User Management.

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.
