5.4. The Add New User Form

 

 

 

 

New users are added by selecting the <Create User> option on the <Users> menu.

 

The Create User Form provides the user the capability to add a new user on the Stratsol server. In addition to the user’s contact details, name and user ID (used for logging into the portal) the form allows the user to select the new user’s Access Rights & Roles, described above.

 

All the fields on the form marked with a star ‘*’ are required fields and before submitting any request to create the user, these fields need to be completed. Most of the fields on the form are self-explanatory and all include context sensitive help information; it is important that the <User Role> field is correctly completed to avoid providing inappropriate privileges to users.

 

Closing and Submitting the Add User Form

 

Clicking the <X> button or pressing the <Esc> key will close the form and delete any information the user may have entered to the Create User Form.

 

Clicking the minimise form button, <> will close the form while retaining any information which may have been entered to create the user. Entered information will not be submitted to the server for processing; but will be available to the user by selecting the Create User Form option from the <Create User> option on the <Users> menu.

 

Clicking the <Save> button or pressing the <Enter> key will result in the form’s data being checked for completeness and, if complete, the entered new user information being sent to the server for processing. The user is informed of the result of the server’s attempt to create the user through either a Warning message in case of failure, or an Information message in case of a successful creation.

 

If the user is successfully created the new user’s details are displayed to the user in the New User’s Details Form. The required login details for the new user are emailed to the user’s email address and a password change will be required at first login.

 

Though the new user has been created and the new user profile stored at the server, the user details can changed or deleted from the New User’s Details Form if required. If no changes are required and the user is not to be deleted, the form can be closed by clicking the close form button, <X>, the <> button or by pressing the <Esc> key.
