Properties

User Properties define the basic options of a user account.

Username

Name of user account, and also name of User context. This is a read-only property which may not be changed once the account is created.

First Name

First name of the account owner.

Last Name

Last name of the account owner.

Password

Account password that is used by user to log in. The password must match Password Settings.

Initialization Password

Defines whether user's password is an initialization password. If set to true, the user will be requested to change the password upon first login. This property is automatically set to false upon password change.

Ignore Connection Mode

Forces the system to ignore User Connection Mode for this user.

Time Zone

Defines the user’s time zone, used to display the correct time for this user in dashboards, logs, and other interfaces.
Devices registered under this account are also assumed to be located in this time zone unless a different time zone is explicitly specified in the Device Account. User time zone settings are applied only for sessions running under a user-related controller (for example, a logged-in Web UI or API session). For anonymous, background, or system operations (no username), user settings are not applied — the server time zone is used instead.

See Dealing with Time Zones for more details.
