Editing and deleting users - User Guide - BlueCat Horizon

Editing users

To edit a local user:

1. Navigate to User management > Users and locate the user you want to edit in the list.
2. Select the ellipses in the row and then select Edit.
3. In the dialog, edit the user's information as needed:
   • Name: The name of the user.
   • Email: The user's email address. If you update a user's email address, they will receive a verification email at the new email address. Updating the email address unverifies the user and they will need to set a new password when they verify their new email.
   • Roles: The user's assigned roles are listed.
     • To remove a role, locate the role and select the x associated with it.
     • To add a role, start entering the role name in the provided field and select the role from the list that appears.
     Note: When you change a user's role(s), the changes do not take effect until the user logs out of the platform and then logs back in.
   • Groups: The user's assigned groups are listed.
     • To remove a group, locate the group and select the x associated with it.
     • To add a group, start entering the group name in the provided field and select the group from the list that appears.
4. Select Update.

Deleting users

When you need to remove a local user from the platform, you can permanently delete them. Deletion of the user revokes any access permissions that user may have had and removes them from assigned roles and any groups of which they were a member.

To delete a user:

1. Navigate to User management > Users and locate the user you want to delete in the list.
2. Select the ellipses in the row and then select Delete.
3. In the dialog, select Delete user to confirm.

The user will be permanently deleted from the platform.
