Overview

All people in QEST Platform are managed centrally through the People node in the QESTLab tree. This includes users of the QEST Platform system which are people who also have a user login. As such the addition and configuration of a user is done from the People node in QESTLab. 

Adding a User

1. Select the person to add a user to from the People node of the QESTLab tree. (see Managing People if a person first needs to be added)
2. Enter a Login Name and appropriate password.
3. Click OK.

Configuring a User

The person page would have updated with some additional sections and tabs.

QESTLab Login

• Login: Displays the login name of the user.
• User Status: The current status of the user. The status can either be ACTIVE, the user can login or the status can be INACTIVE, the user cannot login.
• Change Password: Change the password for the user.
• Edit Login Name: Create a new login for this user.

QESTLab Laboratory Permissions

Similar to Technician Laboratory Availability, a list of the available laboratories will be displayed. The laboratories selected here however will determine what locations the user has access to in the QEST Platform system.

Roles

The roles tab will display all the available roles in the system. Select the roles this user will have. This will configure the set of permissions available to the user. (see Managing Roles if an appropriate role has not yet been added)

Permissions Preview

The permissions preview tab will display the set of permissions configured for the user based on the roles that have been selected for them. This tab can be used to determine if a user has a specific permission or not.
