Users

The Users screen is for managing the users of your system.

You can search for a user, view a user, edit an existing user, add a user to the system and delete a user from the system.

Note:  This is a screen for system administrators - most users will not be able to view or access this screen.

The status column shows the current status of each user in your system. There are three statuses:

Failed attempts column

This column shows the number of attempts a user has made to log-in to the system.

    Note:  The locale must be either en_GB or en_US. If you are based anywhere other then the USA, select en_GB.

  10. In the Phone field, type the user's phone number.

Note:  The system convention is to use email addresses as user names.

Roles and information

The next group of fields covers the role of the new user and some information fields.

A role is a set of permissions which dictate what a user can see and do. To assign role(s) to the user:

  1. The available roles are in the Available list on the left. You can scroll down this list, and use the Refine data by field to search for a particular role. There are only three roles applicable, but a user can have one, two or all three roles:

    1. Merchant chargeback analyst.

    2. Merchant user admin access - The administration role.

    3. Merchant reporting and DEU (DEU is the Data Extract Utility).

  2. Scroll through the list of available roles, select the roles you want to add (use the Control key on your keyboard to select multiple roles) and click the right arrow.

  3. The Selected list contains the roles assigned to the user. You can select roles in this list and use the left arrow to move them back to the Available list.

  4. To assign all the roles to a user, click the Select All checkbox next to the Available list and click the right arrow. To deselect all the selected roles from a user, click the Select All checkbox above the Selected list, and click the left arrow.

Note:  The fields below the Roles lists are mainly for information:

The Last login field, Last Password Change, Failed Attempts and Reactivate fields are not populated, as you are adding a new user to the system. Ignore these fields.

Assignment groups and inherited users

  1. Click the Inherited checkbox to specify if the user is inherited to lower levels within the organization structure.

  3. Scroll through the list of available assignment groups, select the group(s) you want to add (use the Control key on your keyboard to select multiple groups) and click the right arrow.

  4. The Selected list contains the groups assigned to the user. You can select groups in this list and use the left arrow to move them back to the Available list.

  5. To assign all the assignment groups to a user, click the Select All checkbox next to the Available list and click the right arrow. To deselect all the selected groups from a user, click the Select All checkbox above the Selected list, and click the left arrow.

Hardware and network information

The final set of fields covers the hardware and network connections that the new user will use to operate the system.

  1. In the IP Restriction field, enter the IP (Internet Protocol) address of any restricted devices that you don't want the new user to use to access your system.

  2. Click the Lock IP on Login checkbox to ensure the IP address is locked for the session (this can prevent hijacking).

  3. Select the maximum number of devices the user can use from a particular location from the Max location devices drop-down list.

  4. Enter the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) extension for this user in the SIP Extension field, or leave the field blank if you don't use SIP.
