Administrators with appropriate rights can edit users for the regions and resources they administer. Editing a user's account may change their ability to access and/or receive information about resources, especially when changing their roles and rights. For more information about users and components of user accounts, go to the article About Users.
Please be aware of the following as you create and maintain user accounts:
- Usernames must be unique. To check whether a username is already in use, click Check Username.
- Passwords must have a minimum of six characters and include at least one number. Spaces are not allowed.
- You can enter multiple email or pager addresses, but they must be separated with a comma (,).
- The Default View is the first page a user sees when they log in to EMResource, and it is the first option in the View menu.
- New users are assigned your region's default role, and by default, they have viewing rights for every resource that is included in the Region Default view.
- In the Resource Rights section, you can search for specific resources using the filter and search options at the top of the section.
- In the Resource Rights section, granting the View Resource right means that, by default, the user can view the resource’s status types according to the user's assigned roles. To change the user’s access to status types, click Refine and select or clear the check boxes as appropriate.
