A user is someone who has access to one or more functions of the Mazévo system. Access to these functions is granted to the user by the assignment of security roles to the user account.
Overview
A user in Mazévo, a unique record based upon an email address, contains all of the security permissions for the user. These permissions or roles determine what functions the user can access when using the system.
User records can only be created and maintained by users with either the global administrator or user administrator roles.
To create a user:
1) Go to Settings > Users. Mazévo will display a list of all users in the system.
2) Click Add User to create a new user or select a user from the list to edit its information.
3) On the Details tab, enter the following information:
- Email Address
- First Name
- Last Name
- Phone Number (Optional)
- Notes (optional)
4) On the Security tab, select the primary role for the user from:
- Global Administrator
- Requestor
- Event Planner
The primary role is optional. For example, you can create a user without one of the primary roles.
Selecting the Global Administrator role removes all other selections since this role grants total access to the entire system.
Selecting the Requester Role allows for the creation of a requester or a view-only requester. View-only requesters can not make or edit requests. If the user is allowed to make requests, a security policy will be required. Security policies dictate various permissions used for making requests.
Selecting the Event Planner role allows for creating either a full event planner or a view-only event planner. For users with full event planning privileges, choose the event planner's buildings to create new events.
5) On the Other Security Roles tab, select any additional roles to be granted to the user.
6) Press Save.
Mazévo User Passwords
After creating a user record, the system will automatically send an email to the user's email address. The email will contain a link for the user to confirm their email and create their password. Please note that this link will expire after one day. An administrator can resend the email if needed by clicking Resend Invite.
