User Management

An option called Users is included under Application Settings. This feature empowers administrators to efficiently add, update, and view users within the application, streamlining user management processes and enhancing overall productivity.

Benefits

  • Streamlined User Management: Centralizes user updates, saving time and effort.

  • Enhanced Control: Offers a single view for better monitoring and security.

  • Improved Collaboration: Ensures accurate user info, boosting teamwork and security.

Feature Description

The Users option is accessible through the Application Settings menu. Here’s a closer look at what you can do with this feature:

  1. Add Users: Administrators can easily add new users to the service automation application. By navigating to the User Options section, you can input the necessary general user details such as Name, Employee ID, Mobile Phone, Email ID etc, and required authentication details.

  2. Update Users: Existing user details can be updated seamlessly. Whether it's a change in general or authentication details, administrators can ensure that user data is always up to date. This helps in maintaining a proper user database and prevents any access issues that might arise due to outdated information.

    Note

    Adding and updating user details depends on the deployment mode, whether integrated or standalone. For more information on these modes and the actions allowed, refer to Modes.
