User Management
In the User Management area, you can:
Add new users to your RedactManager environment.
Enable, disable, and delete users.
Assign roles to the users.
Good to know:
If you have created a new user account, the user must activate it.
There are different activation scenarios. You can provide users with the following link to help them activate their account: Account activation.
How to get there:
User Menu > Settings > User Management
User list in the User Management area
What can you do?
Click New User (next to the search bar in the bar above the user list).
The "Add New User" dialog opens.
Complete the fields. Mandatory fields are marked with a red asterisk.
In the Role section, you can assign one or more roles to the user. Some roles already include other roles. Just tick the respective checkbox(es).
Click Save User to complete the process.
The new user will then be displayed in the user list.

"Add New User" dialog
Good to know:
If you assign a role to the user in the "Add New User" dialog, the user's account will be enabled by default.
If you do not assign a role to the user, the user will be initially disabled. (The Roles column of the user list shows No role defined.)
The ACTIVE column of the user list contains a toggle button. If the toggle button is red, the user is enabled; if the button is grayed out, the user is disabled.
Turn the toggle button on/off to enable/disable a user.
Note: The toggle button next to your name is disabled. So you cannot accidentally deactivate your account.
User Admins cannot disable Admins because Admins have more rights than User Admins.
Toggle button for enabling and disabling users
Caution!
If you disable a user, the assigned roles will be removed. No role is defined for the user then.
If you enable a disabled user (= no role), the user will automatically be assigned the user role. You can use the Edit option if you want to assign a further or different role to the respective user.
