About this task

The Security Officer (crso) can:

  • Enable and disable users, but not delete them
  • Disable multifactor authentication for Admin users, but not enable it
  • Enable Security Officer (crso) multifactor authentication

Steps

  1. Select Administration > Users from the Main Menu.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • To create a user, click Add.
    • To modify a user, click the radio button at the beginning of the row for a user and click Edit.
  3. Complete the following fields in the dialog box.
    Table 1. User fields
    Field Description
    Name fields Specify the user's first name and last name.

    User Name (required) Specify a username.
    Phone Specify the user's telephone number.
    Email (required) Specify an email address for alert notifications if the user is configured to receive them.
    NOTE Later, if a user's email is modified, the Security Officer (crso) and the user receive an email message that indicates the change. The user's old email address, which has since been modified, receives the email message.

  4. Click Save.
  5. Enable and disable users:
    1. Select the user and click Disable.
    2. Click Disabled Users at the top of the content pane and note that the table lists the newly disabled user.
    3. Select the user and click Enable. The table no longer lists the user.
    4. Click Enabled Users at the top of the content pane and note that the table lists the newly enabled user.
  6. Disable multifactor authentication for an Admin user:
    1. Select the user.
    2. Click Disable MFA.
      The Security Officer (crso) and the Admin user, whose multifactor authentication is disabled, receive an email message that indicates that multifactor authentication is disabled. When the Admin user logs in, the slider in the Setup Multi-Factor Authentication window is set to the disabled position.
    NOTE The Security Officer (crso) and Admin users, if they can log in, can disable multifactor authentication for their own accounts by using the slider in the Mult-Factor Authentication window. See Enabling multifactor authentication.
