Users page

The Users page summarizes information about the InForm users and enables you to navigate to detailed information about a specific user, and provides access to user administration activities such as adding or modifying a user or assigning the user to a rights group, site, or group.

Fields

Users page

Field

Description

Filter user(s)

Filter that identifies the items that you want to view, based on user information.

  • Type any part of a user name, country, first name, or last name, and press Enter.

    The user listing returns a list of matching users and the Clear Search Results icon (Clear search result icon. Click to clear the filter.)appears next to the box. Click the icon to clear the filter.

  • This filter is case-insensitive.

    Note: To sort by Status or Personnel type, you must type the entire field value. For example, you must type "Site" or "Sponsor" (the whole word).

X

Checkbox that allows you to select users. When you select the checkbox for one or more users and then click one of the buttons at the bottom of the page, the InForm application processes the request for all selected users.

For example, if you select one or more checkboxes and then click the Inactivate button, all selected users change to the Inactive state.

Caution: If you make all users inactive, you will be unable to re-enter the InForm application to perform any administration activities, including the set up of users. Oracle recommends that you keep one user with administration rights active at all times.

Last Name

Last name of the user.

First Name

First name of the user.

Account Name

Name the user enters to log in to the InForm application.

Status

User status: Active, Inactive, or Terminated.

  • Inactive users remain in the database, are visible on the Users page, and can be reactivated.
  • Terminated users remain in the database, are visible on the Users page only to administrators who have the right to reinstate users, and cannot be reactivated.

Personnel Type

Type of user. Certain features are available only to sponsor users.

  • Site—User who performs site functions. Queries in the Candidate state are not visible to Site users.

  • System—Internally defined user who performs automated functions; for example, the autoquery user is designated as the originator of automatic queries.
