User Management
Approving Users
New users require Administrator approval before they can log on. As an Admin, to approve a user you should follow the following steps:
- Accounts for new users will be created in DataMagic automatically when they first sign in.
- Administrators will have to manually approve new users before they are able to use the system.
-
You can do this by signing in and selecting the Admin menu on your left-hand side.
- Find the desired user by scrolling or searching
-
Once selected press the Edit button or double click the entry.
-
You will then be able to toggle the Approved status of a user and select Save.
- The user will now be able to refresh and use the system.
Adding Pre-approved users:
- Sign into DataMagic
-
From the Admin menu, click Users.
-
Click the Create button, then in the dialog box that appears, enter the users details.
-
Take care in only providing the tenant administrator role to anyone who requires it.
-
Select the Approved check box and then Save.
- The newly created user will now appear in the users table.
-
Now when the user signs in, they will not have to wait for tenant administrator to approve their account.
Resetting User Passwords:
Passwords are controlled by your organizations Microsoft platform, and is directly linked to DataMagic using Microsoft Authentication provider, due to this fact, you are unable to reset user passwords directly from DataMagic.
If you are still unsure on how to direct a user to reset their password, here's some tips that may help:
- You can instruct the user to reset their password by heading to Office.com and attempting to sign in
- If the user is successful, then inform them that these details are their credentials for accessing DataMagic
- If the user is not successful, then they can click "Can't access your account?'" and go through Microsoft recovery process.
If the user is still unable to access their account, it would be worth speaking to your Organizations Microsoft or Office 365 Administrator for more assistance
