Viewing & Editing Users (Designer)

About Viewing & Editing Users in Designer

A user account is required to access Designer. User accounts are created and managed in Studio. Once a user is created, a system administrator can view the user in Designer. Administrators can also edit user information and permissions in Designer.

Qtip: Linking a user to a Content Provider replicates this user’s account in a corresponding Designer instance. Please refer to Managing Users (Studio) to learn more about creating and linking user accounts.

Accessing Users in Designer

To access users in Designer:

Navigate to the Admin tab.
Select Accounts.
Click the users icon next to your account.
The users page will open for you to view and edit users.

Viewing User Information

After navigating to the users section of Designer, you can view a table with the following information about your users:

User Name: The email or username used to log in.
First Name: The user’s first name.
Last Name: The user’s last name.
Enabled. This field is no longer used in Designer. It has been moved to Studio and has no effect on user access.
Restful API user: Shows whether these credentials can be used by Studio to perform API calls.
Account Admin: Shows whether this user is an Account Administrator. See User Roles for more information on available roles.
Act User: This feature has been deprecated.
Monitoring User: This feature has been deprecated.
Actions: Edit the user’s server, account, and project permissions.
Qtip: You cannot use the trash can icon to delete users. See Managing Users (Studio) for information on deleting users.

Qtip: By default, users are sorted alphabetically by login name. To sort them by other columns, click the column headings. To find users by name (login name, first name, or last name) use the Search field at the top of the table.

Editing User Information and Permissions

  - Settings. Allow a user to manage project settings.
  - Taxonomy. Allow a user to manage project taxonomies.

    Qtip: These permissions are usually only needed for power users and administrators.
