Field | Description |
---|---|
Authentication |
Authentication method. |
Username (Add User page only) |
Unique name of the user account (up to 100 characters). You can reuse deleted user names. Does not apply if LDAP authentication is used. For more information, see Rename a user. |
First Name |
First name of the user (up to 64 characters). |
Last Name |
Last name of the user (up to 64 characters). |
|
Email address of the user. This address (or addresses, separated by a comma) is used:
It is recommended that all users have an associated email address. |
User Profile |
The user profile, or set of attributes (login group and quota), user roles, permissions, and default user preferences that can be applied to users. The default is specified on the Site Options page by making a selection from the Default User Profile drop-down list. |
Quota |
Maximum amount of server space in megabytes (M) that the user is permitted to use for creating runs. If this limit is exceeded, the user cannot submit new runs (or re-runs). To indicate an unlimited amount of storage space, leave this field blank. If you enter 0, the user cannot create any runs even if the user has appropriate permissions. |
Login Group |
Name of the login group to which the user belongs. Only a superuser can change the login group and will see a Change link. When a superuser selects the Change link, Oracle Empirica Signal asks for confirmation because Oracle discourages changing a user's login group. The superuser must click OK to enable the Login Group field. |
Password (Local authentication only) |
Password for the user account (up to 64 characters). The password does not need to be unique. Note that users can also modify their own passwords. Follow any recommendations by your organization related to creating secure (hard-to-guess) passwords. You must create passwords according to the password restrictions set by your site administrator. Does not apply if LDAP or SSO authentication is used. |
Confirm Password (Local authentication only) |
Re-enter the password for the user account to confirm it. Does not apply if LDAP or SSO authentication is used. |
Superuser |
If selected, the user can perform any activity. This check box is available only if you are logged in as a superuser. If you are not a superuser, the label Superuser appears (without a check box) for any previously created superuser. |
Password never expires (Local authentication only) |
If selected, the user password never expires. Note: If a user password has expired, a message at the top of the Edit User page tells you this when you edit the user.Does not apply if LDAP or SSO authentication is used. |
User must change password at next login (Local authentication only) |
If selected, the user is required to change the password when next logging in. This option is cleared automatically once the user has changed the password. Does not apply if LDAP or SSO authentication is used. |
Account locked (Local authentication only) |
If selected, the user cannot log in until you clear the check box. This check box is selected automatically for a user who tries to log in with an incorrect password more than the number of times allowed by the site option, Number of Attempts Allowed. Does not apply if LDAP or SSO authentication is used. |
Account disabled |
If selected, the user account is disabled. Disabled users cannot log in, receive notifications, or have objects such as topics assigned to them. Note: When a local user password has expired, the user account becomes disabled. To allow the user to log in again, you must both assign a new password to the user and re-enable the user account. |
