Managing users and groups

Manage users and groups in the User Management dialog.

Note: To edit the properties of a user or group, you must have Administer User Management permission.

Properties of users and groups

To edit the description of an external group, right-click and select Properties.

To edit the description, the password, or the account settings of an Infor BI user, right-click the user, and select Properties.

To change the password, click Change password on the Password tab and specify the new password.

On the Account Settings tab, there are these options for Infor BI users:


Setting	Description
User account is disabled	This is checked when the user exceeds the maximum number of log-on attempts. Clear the check box to reactivate the user account. The number of log-on attempts is reset to 0.
Password never expires	Specify whether the user must enter a new password when the validity period is over. You specify the validity period for passwords on the Password Restrictions tab.
User must change password	The user must enter a new password the next time he logs on. When the user changes the password, this check box is cleared.

Filtering the view

If you have a large number of users and groups, it may be helpful to filter the list displayed in the User Management dialog, by searching for users and groups that meet specific criteria (for example, only Windows users). On the toolbar, click Show/Hide Search and specify the filter criteria.
