Managing Users and User Groups
Managing Users
Creating a new user
The Create user account link is available on the Administration | Users page only if the Authentication Scheme is used. For Authentication Scheme and Authentication Scheme authentication schemes, the list of users coincides with the domain user database. When creating a user account, only username and password are required. Any new user is automatically added to the User Group and inherits roles and permissions defined for this group. If you don't use Role and Permission, you can specify here whether a user should have administrative permissions or not. Otherwise, you can assign roles to new user assigningRoles.
Editing user account
To edit/delete a user account click its name on the Users tab of the Administration | Users page.
General settings and Version Control Username Settings Depending on the authentication scheme, username can be editable or read-only. If the default authentication scheme is selected, you can modify user's name. If another authentication schemes is used, the user name can be edited only by the system administrator. If needed, modify here user's full name, email address and password. The Version Control Username Settings pane allows to view default usernames for different VCS used by the current user. The names set here will be used to show builds with changes committed by a user with such VCS username on the My Changes page. Also, such builds can be highlighted on the Projects page, etc. Groups Use this tab to review the groups the user belongs to, and add/remove user from groups. Roles This tab is available only if per-project permissions are enabled at page. Use this tab to view the roles assigned to the user directly and inherited from groups. The roles assigned directly can be modified/removed here. Notification Rules Please, refer to Subscribing to Notifications for details.
