Manage users

Elena Dvoryadkina

Users log in to ADQM Control under the accounts previously created for them in the system. To manage users, you can use the Users tab on the Access page in the ADQM Control web interface.

After an ADQM Control cluster has been installed, the admin user with the admin password and the Owner role (system owner) is automatically created.

View a list of users

The list of ADQM Control users is available on the Access → Users page. It displays the following information for each user:

  • User name — login;

  • First name and Last name — user’s first and last names;

  • Role — user’s role in the system;

  • Status — user’s status. Possible values:

    • Active — account exists in the system;

    • Online — user has active sessions (the number of sessions is displayed in a tooltip that appears on hovering over the icon info user icon dark info user icon light);

    • Blocked — user is blocked (the time when a user was blocked is displayed in a tooltip that appears on hovering over the icon info user icon dark info user icon light).
