Create/change/delete a user

It is possible to create and delete other users, if you are signed on as either a tenant administrator or as a system administrator.

 

Delete a user

The delete of a user is covered in this video:



To work with the users you select the SETTINGS icon in the top (not available unless you are an administrator), and then the MANAGE USERS icon as marked below:

 

NG2Users0001

 

 

What you see now depends on if you are looking at the user list as a system administrator or as a tenant administrator.

 

In short: A system admin can change/create/remove any user on the system, and give the user access to any tenant. A tenant administrator can change/create/remove users from the tenant only.

 

If all roles of a user are removed, then the user is deleted from the system.

 

Each of the options are described in the sections below.
