NOTE: Only Super User (su) types of users can manage other users
To use the User application, the Super User will need to have the Host Application open.
When any Super User logins into FIN, they are directed to the Host Application where they can click on the User selection in the left-hand column.
Additionally, Super Users (su type) can also open the Host Application under the Advanced Apps (not available to Admin and Operator)
The Create New User menu is that part of the Users app, that allows a Super User to create new users.
1. The Super User will need to open the Host application
2. Navigate to the Users section located on the left-hand side
3. On the bottom, there is a button called Create
4. Once selected, the NEW USER pop-up will display.
5. When the new user has been created, the last step will be a Reset Password prompt. Here the Super User creating the new user can leave the suggested password alone or replace it with another. The Super User should give this temporary password to the new user to login to the FIN Framework.
The first time the new user successfully logs in to FIN, they will be directed to a prompt where they have to create their own new unique password.
The Edit User menu is broken down into 3 sections
Essentials:
Access Permission: If the new user should only have access to a specific section, here we will set the restrictions.
Custom Properties:
The SU can edit a user in two locations:
Here the user can edit the user essentials, application permissions, and custom properties
This will display the property editor which will let the SU do two of the following:
Edit or Add or Remove

The su can change the essentials information of the user's and customize the FIN from a light theme to a dark theme.
The SU can change the permissions of the edited user.
Each access has a folio filter string that defines what a specific user will have access to and visibility too.

The Homepath property allows the user to configure a specific app or graphic be default when the user logs in to said project. This can be unique per user.
The user will still be directed to the host view upon login unless they're using a url to open a specific project. To have the user login to a specific project, they can learn how to do that in Launch Specific Project doc. |
