(v23) Specify General User Information

Specify General User Information

When you add or modify a user, you can specify the following general information:

• The login name for the user
• The user's full name
• The user's email address
• The user's password
• Groups to which the user is assigned
• Whether the user is enabled or disabled

This general information is managed on the Info tab of the user editor. To access the Info tab, see Add Users or Modify Users . For information on the user settings that can be changed on other tabs, see:

• Assign and Remove Users in Composer Tenant Accounts
• Specify Custom User Attributes
• Specify A User's Regional Settings
• Enable and Disable Users

In v23.4 of Composer and later, tasks formerly performed by the Supervisor user are now performed by the default system admin and members of the Supervisors group. Any user who belongs to the Supervisors group or to a group with user management privileges can make changes to the general information of a user's Info tab.

(Composer v23.3 and earlier) You can modify the general information for user definitions in a Composer account if you are logged in as an account administrator, a Composer supervisor, or a user who is assigned to a group with user management privileges.

Note: The default supervisor user is no longer installed; add users to the Supervisors group instead.

The following table describes all the information you can change on the Info tab. The Required? column indicates whether the information is required in a user's definition.

Tab Field	Required?	Default	Description
Login Name	Yes	---	The login name for the user. This is also the name for the user definition. The login name must be unique in all accounts in the Composer instance. It must include at least one alphanumeric character. The login name is used to log into Composer. See Log Into the Composer UI.
Full Name	No	---	The full name of the user. Specify up to 40 characters of the user's given name.
Email	No	---	The email address of the user. Specify up to 254 characters of the user's email.
Change Password	Yes	---	Select the arrow in this box to expand the Info tab and see the Password and Confirm Password boxes.
Password	Yes	---	The password associated with this user name. The password must contain at least nine characters and must include one lowercase, one uppercase, one numeric, and one special character. Special characters include these characters: !@#$%^&**()-_=+,.:;<>
Confirm Password	Yes	---	The password associated with this user name. Use this text box to retype the password you specified in the Password text box when you initially create the user definition and when you change the password for the user.
Require password change (v23.4 and later)	No	Yes	Use the Require password change switch to indicate whether the user should be prompted to change their password when they log on for the first time (or the first time after their password was set or changed). When you create a new user, the Require password change switch on the Info tab is always on (set to Yes), but can be changed to No.
Require password change (v23.3 and earlier)	No	No	Use the Require password change switch to indicate whether the user should be prompted to change their password when they log on for the first time (or the first time after their password was set or changed). When a supervisor creates a new user, the Require password change switch on the Info tab is always on (set to Yes) and cannot be altered. New users created by a supervisor are required to change their password when they first log into Composer. After the new user has been created, supervisors cannot reset or change the user password. Only Composer administrators can reset or change user passwords.
Add Groups	No	---	Select this button to assign the user to one or more groups in the account. The Add Group(s) dialog appears. If your user ID is not assigned the Administer Groups privilege or is not an administrator, you cannot assign groups to a user. In addition, only administrators can assign users to the Administrators group. Use the search box at the top of the dialog to locate a group name in the list. You can also sort the group names in ascending or descending order using the Sort By Name arrows. After selecting (checking) one or more groups for the user definition, select Apply to assign the user to the groups and close the Add Group(s) dialog. In v23.4 of Composer and later, users who belong to the Supervisors group do not have this field on the Info tab. Update their group membership in the group directly. Navigate to the menu option Users and Groups, then select the Group tab to add or remove the user from a specific group in a specific tenant account.
Disable User	No	not checked	This option appears only for account administrators or account users who are assigned to a group with user management privileges. Use the Disable User checkbox to disable the user definition in the account. See Enable and Disable Users .
