User Profiles

Purpose: Use the User Profiles screen to add new users, disable user logins, or delete users that have access to Order Broker Cloud Service for the purposes of configuring or reviewing settings and activity for either the Routing Engine module, the Supplier Direct Fulfillment module, or both.

Password: When you first create a user profile that does not use LDAP authentication, you need to specify an initial, temporary password. The user needs to change the password when first logging into Order Broker Cloud Service by completing the Change Password window.

Users anonymized? If a user has been anonymized, asterisks are displayed as the user’s name and email.

Anonymized users can still log into Order Broker Cloud Service and retain their current authority unless they are deactivated. Anonymizing a vendor user does not automatically deactivate the user.

See Anonymizing Data for background.

Vendor user profiles: See the Vendor User Profiles screen for information on working with vendor user profiles that control authority to the Vendor Portal.

Store associate user profiles: See the Store Associate User Profiles screen for information on working with store associate profiles that control authority to Store Connect.

How to display this screen: Select User Profiles from the Home Screen or from the Systems Menu.

Note:             Only users with User Profiles authority can display this screen. See the Role Wizard for more information.

Procedure

create a new user profile

1.      Enter a user ID in the User ID field. Your entry must be 5 to 10 positions, and is always set to lowercase.

2.      Optionally, enter a name in the Name field. Names can be 1 to 30 positions in length.

You can also enter or change the name at the User Profile Configuration screen.

You can also enter or change the email address at the User Profile Configuration screen.

Note:             You cannot create a user profile with a disabled login; instead, follow the steps below under disable or enable the login for a user profile.

4.      Click New. You advance to the User Profile Configuration screen, where you set the user’s authority, LDAP authentication settings or initial, temporary password, and default shipping system. Click Save when you are done.

Important:                            Creation of the new user profile is not complete until you click Save at the User Profile Configuration screen.

Password: When you first create a user profile that does not use LDAP authentication, you specify an initial, temporary password. The user needs to change the password when first logging into Order Broker Cloud Service by completing the Change Password window. See that window or the User Profile Configuration screen for information on password requirements.

search for a user profile

Use any combination of the fields at the top of the screen to restrict the search results to matching user profiles:

         Enter a full or partial User ID to restrict your results to product user ID’s starting with your entry.

         Enter a full or partial Name to restrict your results to user profiles whose names contain your entry. You can’t search by name for a user who has been anonymized.

         Enter a full or partial Email to restrict your results to user profiles whose email addresses contain your entry. You can’t search by email for a user who has been anonymized.

         Set the Disabled logins drop-down box to Yes or No to restrict your results to user profiles that match your selection, or leave this field unselected to search for user profiles regardless of this setting.

         Click Search.

Case: The User ID is changed to lowercase automatically. The additional enterable fields on this screen (Name and Email) are case-insensitive for searching; for example, an entry of j matches both John and john.

Click the edit icon (edit_icon.png) for a user profile to advance to the User Profile Configuration screen.

Note:  If the User Profile Configuration screen is already open in another tab, you advance to that screen, where the previously-selected user profile is displayed.

Click the reset password icon (reset_password_icon.png) for a user profile to open the Reset User Profile Password window, where you specify a new, temporary password for the user. The user will need to change the password at the next login by completing the Change Password window.

disable or enable the login for a user profile

The disabled icon (disabled_user_icon.png) indicates that the user cannot currently log into Order Broker Cloud Service; otherwise, the enabled icon (enabled_user_icon.png) indicates that the user can currently log in. To switch between the settings, click the icon that is currently displayed.

If someone attempts to log in using a disabled user ID, the login screen displays an error: Log in failed.

         You can enable or disable the login for a user regardless of whether the user is flagged for LDAP authentication.
