User Administration

---

The User Administration tool is found by hovering your mouse over the User Id in the upper right hand corner and navigating to Control Panel - Administration Tools - Users.  This screen is utilized to create users, modify users, enable/disable users and delete users.  Administrators may also modify the user account for the following properties:

• Change user passwords

• Administer user groups

• Manager supervisor assignment

• Update user preferences

• Set user and password expiration

• View user history

• View user task list
  
  

As you administer users within VisualVault you have the ability to integrate VisualVault with LDAP authentication servers using LDAP Profiles. After a profile has been setup administrators can import users into VisualVault. Passwords for imported users are maintained by the LDAP source. When integrating with LDAP authentication servers, the user accounts may not be easy to use in the VisualVault interface. Administrators can change the format used to display user names in the interface.

Finally, only enabled users are counted for licensing or billing purposes.
