Adding Users
To make changes to your user base, simply navigate to Settings in the menu and select Users.
Note:
If you cannot see the Users menu item, you have not yet been granted the necessary permissions. Since you cannot assign these permissions to yourself, please contact the seventhings admin in your company to assist you.
If you would like to add a user, you will find the Add button in the top left corner.
In the window that appears, enter the user’s email address. The system will automatically generate a temporary password to get them started. We highly recommend keeping the option “Should the user receive an email for registration?” enabled. This ensures the employee receives a direct notification and is prompted to set their own password. First and last names are optional fields. Finally, click Add.
This is what the email that new users receive from seventhings looks like:
If the user does not see the email immediately or if the link has expired: as long as the status in the list shows “Unconfirmed email,” you can send a new invitation at any time. Simply click the pencil icon next to the user’s name, then click Resend Registration Mail in the top right corner of the window that opens, and save your changes.
Tip:
If the user should have specific permissions or a certain role right from the start, you can take care of that now. Check out this article on how to assign individual user permissions. If you are using Role Management, click here instead.
Deactivating users
If an account is temporarily not needed, you can deactivate it. To do this, click on the pencil icon in front of the relevant user in the user list.
Now select Deactivated under Status and then click on Save.
The user will remain in your list and can be reactivated at any time in the same way. Until then, however, they will not be able to log in and will therefore not have access to seventhings.
Deleting Users
If an employee leaves the company or their seventhings access is no longer required for other reasons, you can easily delete their account.
To do this, check the empty box next to the user in the user list.
Then, click on the More menu and select Delete from the dropdown list. The access is now immediately deactivated, and the user will be removed from your overview.
