Creating Users (Profile)
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
A Profile (=user) has a unique identity in the system and can be tagged as an "onwer" to a data record.
|
|
Profiles can also be assigned Roles that restrict what they can do. You can also define custom logic
|
|
for a Profile
|
|
|
|
To create a new Profile:
|
|
|
|
#. Create a new Profile via "New" on the top toolbar
|
|
#. Enter the mandatory "First Name" and "Email" values
|
|
#. "Save" the profile via the "Save" button
|
|
#. The user will be sent an email with her random-genereated password. You can also set a custom password
|
|
by clicking on the "Password" tab and setting the password.
|
|
#. *To assign a role, click on the "Roles" tab and add a "Role" in the table.*
|
|
|
|
Once a Profile is created, the user can login with the login id (email) and password.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
Profiles are given an id that is the same as their email id. Why did we do this?
|
|
|
|
* Email Ids are good unique identifiers. Your users may have the same first and last names,
|
|
but they would have separate Email Ids
|
|
* People usually remember their email ids
|
|
* Email Ids are these days the de-facto way to define login-ids
