Users list¶
The users list shows only the activated users by default. To view all users (activated, registered and locked users), change the status filter to 'all'.
- Login: The login of the user.
- Firstname: The firstname of the user.
- Lastname: The lastname of the user.
- Email: The email adress of the user.
- Administrator: If the icon
is present, the user is designated as an administrator who has unrestricted access to the application and to all projects.
- Created: Indicates the date when this user account has been created.
- Last connection: Indicates the date when this user logged into the application the last time.
User status¶
Depending on the global configuration users can have several statuses:- active
- This icon
means that the account is activated. A user having an activated account can log in and access the application.
- This icon
- locked
- This icon
means that the account is locked. A user having a locked account cannot log in and access the application.
- This icon
- registered
- This icon
can also mean that the account is registered but not activated. A user having a registered account cannot log in and access the application.
This status is used for self-registered users which first needs to be activated by either visiting a link provided by email themselves or by an Redmine administrator manually.
- This icon
The Lock/Unlock buttons let you lock/unlock the activated users and the Activate button let you activate registered users.
User authentication¶
Users are authenticated by login and password. These tokens can be managed by Redmine directly, by an external LDAP or OpenId server, or by Redmine plugins which allow for instance to reuse an already available Apache authentication.
Adding or editing a User¶
A user designated as an administrator has unrestricted access to the application and to all the projects.
