Managing Users

The users can be managed by triggering certain actions in the Actions column in User List table on User page. Specifically, users can be (De)Activated, Edited, Deleted and Assigned Customers there.

Assigning Customers

You can assign Zed Users to specific Yves Users. You need to do that only when you want to preview a CMS page that you plan to publish. The Assign Customers action is just for that purpose, and for nothing else. Check Previewing a Page section in Pages to learn how to assign customers to Zed users.

Editing a User

Click Edit in Actions column if you want to change user's personal details such as First Name, Last Name, Password, Assigned groups and Status. The Status field has the following options:

active: sets the user status to Active

blocked: sets the user status to Deactivated

deleted: deletes the user and sets their status to Deleted

The statuses can also be changed by triggering respective actions under Action column: Activate/Deactivate and Delete. Read on to learn how to do that.

De(Activating) a User

If user is currently deactivated, there will be the Activate button in the Actions column. Click it to activate the user.

And vice versa, if user is activated, they can be deactivated there. If user has deactivated themselves, this user will get logged out immediately and message about the successful deactivation will be shown.

Deleting a User

If you want to delete an existing customer, click Delete in the Actions column. The user's status will change to Deleted, however the user will still stay in the Users List table.

If user has deleted themselves, this user will get logged out immediately and message about the successful deletion will be shown.

Making a User an Agent

To set a user as an agent, tick This user is an agent on Create/Edit User page:

Assigning languages

There are two ways to assign a language to a user account:

  1. From the Create new User page of User Control>User section:
  2. From the Edit User page of User Control>User section if the user is already created:

Once the account language is changed, the respective user will see that their interface is translated into the corresponding language upon their next login.

There is no way for a user to switch language from within their account.
