The Reports To field is a ComboBox. Begin typing the userid of the person this user reports to and a list of matching users displays. Select the Role and Enabled field values from the Dropdown choices.

Add Tenant Admin

You can add additional tenant admins by click the icon. This creates a new user with the special permission required to login and manage the tenant. You cannot add this special tenant admin to an existing user. This is the only way to to grant this special tenant admin permission.  

...

Only tenant admins may import user data and associated roles. The upload/download users links are available for tenants using all security managers. This feature is useful when creating/migrating a tenant that uses the LDAP or SAML Security managers.

Once you have more than a few thousand users, we recommend using the API because it is programmatic and can be automated. This is a more resilient way to bulk load lots of users. There is a limit of 150,000 users per upload.  

Download Users and Roles

  • Make sure you are logged in as the tenant admin. Click the Manage Users link.
  • Click thedownload users csv file icon.
  • This downloads a complete comma separated file that includes the list of the users and their assigned roles in the current tenant. Roles that exist in the tenant but are not assigned to any users will not be included in the file.The fields are comma separated. The following is an example:



...

You will see this message with the number of roles and users that were created: "Users Loaded successfully. 3 Added, 1 Updated, 0 Deleted, 4 Roles Added." Uploading an empty users file displays the message "Users file is empty".

...

Tip
  • If you leave the roles column blank in the csv file you are using for updates, the existing roles for that user will be deleted. Be sure to add the roles relevant to the users you are updating so the existing roles are not cleared.
  • The warning messages "Update of user failed"  or "Users Loaded successfully with some issues. See detailed results for details." is no longer displayed if users in the csv file you are uploading do not have any roles assigned to them. 

...

Click the button next to any user in the users list to edit that user. You can perform functions such as adding/removing roles, resetting paswords, configuring the Max Attachment size per user etc...The default size for attachments is 10485760 bytes.Image Removed

Disable Users

The superuser or tenant admin can disable a user. Disabling a user prevents that user from logging into the form server. If the user has the role frevvo.Designer (aka. was a designer user) the users' forms will become inaccessible to other users. Even if the forms were public users will get the error "This resource belongs to a disabled user". To disable a designer user but keep the form accessible, change the user's role from frevvo.designer to frevvo.readonly and set the Enabled dropdown back to true. In this case when the user tries to login they will get the error "Login is currently disabled".
