Manage users

Edit user information

You can edit user information by going to User in the Admin Console and clicking the Edit icon beside one. This lets you edit the following information:

• Email Address
• First Name
• Last Name
• Last Sign In
• Active – Users can be activated or deactivated using this checkbox.
• Assign User Role
  If the Budget Management setting is disabled, only the Administrator and Requisitioner roles are available; however, the Requisitioner role also depends on Requisitions being enabled. If Budget Management is enabled, the other roles are present: Buyer 1, Buyer 2, and Buyer 3. You can also enable Carry Over Unused Monthly Balances so that the leftover balance carries over to the next month for that user. This setting must be enabled globally.
• Assign Approver

Console users can configure their personal information and settings, such as general information and language.

Click on your user name to go to the User Information section.

Change your language

1. Select a language from the Default Admin Console Language drop-down list.
2. Click Save.

Change your password

1. Click Change Password. The Change Password window displays.

   

2. Enter the current password.
3. Enter the new password and then retype to confirm. You can see the requirements for the new password. As you enter the new password, it automatically checks the requirements as they are met.
4. Click Change Password to save changes.

The password requirements for your implementation may differ from the default requirements shown.

Deactivate users

You can deactivate users instead of deleting them to retain their settings and history, such as a contractor who returns to a job periodically, a user on temporary medical leave, or a user whose role has temporarily changed. You can also set the user to automatically deactivate after a certain number of days.

You may also want to review user activity to determine whether to deactivate a user. You can find a user's Last Sign In information in their profile under the Status section.

Manually deactivate users

1. Go to Administration > Console Users or Website Users in the Admin Console.
2. Select a user and scroll to the Status section.
3. Change the Is Deactivated toggle to On, which suspends the user's account. The user sees a message that their account is deactivated on the Sign In page.

Automatically deactivate users

You can deactivate console and website users after a certain number of days from the Days Inactive Before Deactivation setting.

1. Go to Administration > Settings and find the Days Inactive Before Deactivation setting for Console Security or
   Website Security. 
2. Enter the number of days in the field. If zero is entered, the auto-deactivation feature is disabled.
