User Management
Purpose of the plugin
The User Management is a special plugin that enables the display and editing of OMN users.
Introduction
Within the User Management, it is possible to maintain and manage user properties, such as the name, company or e-mail address.
In addition, a user can be assigned one or more roles that control their rights within the OMN.
Prerequisites and relations to other modules
The User Management has no relationship to other modules.
The only effect on other modules is that users with different roles may have different rights and functions available OMN-wide.
How to access
The module can be opened directly via the sidebar (usually found in the Administration area).
How to use
The User Management consists of a center and right view.
No left view is required for navigation or similar.
-
Center View
Display of existing users and option to manage users using functions -
Right View
View for displaying and editing the user properties
Center View
The center view shows all user properties of OMN users in tabular form.
Toolbar & Functions
The toolbar contains the following three functions:
-
Add user
The "Add user" function is always available, even without selection.
If the function is executed, a dialog with various input fields opens to create a new OMN user.Login names must always be unique.

Copy user
The "Copy user" function is only visible if a user has been selected in the canvas.The function does not allow multi-selection. As soon as the function is executed, the same dialog opens as before for "Add user".
The difference is that all fields - except login name, password and e-mail - have been copied from the selected user.
