User Account Management
New user accounts can be created in three ways:
Account self-registration, where new users create their own profile from the login page of the Web UI.
Manual creation by an administrator via the New User Account action.
Using
register()function available in the Root Context.
When an administrator creates a user accounts using the New User Account action in the Users context, the action prompts requires an account name, password and permission settings to be specified. The permission settings are used by Iotellect to build the user’s initial permissions table.
When new accounts are created through the Register New Account function, the mandatory parameters are a username, password and password confirmation, for example {.:register("username", "p@s$word", "p@s$word")}. In this case all other settings are set to default.
The method of building the default permissions table for the new account is described in the Default Permissions Table article.
Deleting User Accounts
User accounts are removed using the Delete Account action of a User context.
Deleting a user account permanently destroys all resources owned by the user, such as device accounts, alerts, models, etc. Account removal is a permanent operation that may not be undone.
A user cannot delete their own account.
