7. Security : The Security/Users Subtab

The Security/Users Subtab
The Users subtab of the Security tab displays the repository's set of registered AccuRev users, and provides commands for maintaining the set of users. Various security (and non-security) features involve users:
Opening a Security/Users Subtab
Choose Admin > Security from the GUI main menu to display the Security tab. Then, click the Users subtab.
Security/Users Subtab Layout
The Users subtab contains a table with these columns:
Status
(appears if Show hidden users  is checked) Inactive indicates that the username has been removed, and can't be used in a Login command, or in the definition of an ACL entry or a lock. A removed user can subsequently be Reactivated.
Name
The username. You can change a username (for example, from derek to dpost) without disrupting AccuRev's bookkeeping, because it tracks user identities by their unique, immutable integer IDs.
A user cannot have the same name as any other user, or the same name as any group. See User-Specified Names for AccuRev Entities on page 14.
#
The integer that uniquely identifies this user. This number cannot be changed. Note: The same "namespace" of integer IDs is shared by users and groups.
Working in a Security/Users Subtab
You can use this subtab to activate/deactivate users, and to perform operations that maintain the user registry.
Controlling Which Users are Displayed
Show hidden users
If checked, the table includes users that have been deactivated with the Remove command. This also adds a Status column.
Creating a New User
Use the toolbar button to create a new AccuRev user identity.
Add User
Add a new user to the repository's user registry, optionally assigning a password to the user. In order to succeed, there must be at least one available user license.
Operating on a Selected User
You can choose any of the following commands from the context menu of a selected user:
Change User Name
Change the name that AccuRev associates with this user identity. See User-Specified Names for AccuRev Entities on page 14.
Change Password
Change this user's password. Note: AccuRev allows you to change any user’s password, not just your own. But your organization might use a trigger to disallow all but a few administrative users from changing another user's password.
See User-Specified Names for AccuRev Entities on page 14.
Reactivate User
Reactivate a user who has been deactivated with Remove User. In order to succeed, there must be at least one available user license.
Remove User
Deactivate the selected user. No one can Login as that user, but the user still appears in the repository's historical records, such as the History Browser. You can use the Reactivate User command to bring back a removed user.
