User Management

The Users Management module or screen provides an interface to control the users of the ColdBricks application. Only authorized users can access ColdBricks using their assigned username and password.

IMPORTANT: This screen only manages users for the ColdBricks application and is completely independent of the users or any security feature of the sites created and managed using ColdBricks.

The Users Management module is accessed through the Administration Dashboard.

The Users Management module displays a list of all existing users. The listing displays their username, full name and whether they are administrator users or not. The following chart describes the available actions for each user:


To create a new user, click on the Create New User button and complete the user information form.

Administrator Users and Regular Users

When creating or modifying a user, you have the option to set the user as an Administrator or not.

Administrator users have unrestricted access to all screens and features in ColdBricks.

Non-administrator users have a limited access and can only manage sites for which they have been approved. Non administrator users, or 'regular' users, are always assigned to one or more sites by an administrator. Additionally, if the logged-in user is not an administrator, the Sites Management screen only displays the sites that have been assigned to the current user. Furthermore, if the user has been assigned to only one site, then the Sites Management screen is not displayed and the user is taken directly to the Site Dashboard after login.
