The User Management Dialog

|
|
|
|
When invoking pgAdmin in desktop mode, a password is randomly generated, and then ignored. If you install pgAdmin in server mode, you will be prompted for an administrator email and password for the pgAdmin client.
|
|
|
|
When you authenticate with pgAdmin, the server definitions associated with that login role are made available in the tree control. An administrative user can use the *User Management* dialog to
|
|
|
|
* add or delete pgAdmin roles
|
|
* assign privileges
|
|
* manage the password associated with a role
|
|

|
|
|
|
Use the *Filter by email* search field to find a user; enter a user's email address to find a user. If the user exists, the *User Management* table will display the user's current information.
|
|
|
|
To add a user, click *Add* to add new role.

|
Provide information about the new pgAdmin role in the row:
|
|
|
|
* Click in the *Email* field, and provide an email address for the user; this address will be used to recover the password associated with the role should the password be lost.
|
|
* Use the drop-down listbox next to *Role* to select whether a user is an *Administrator* or a *User*.
|
|
|
|
* Select *Administrator* if the user will have administrative privileges within the pgAdmin client.
|
|
* Select *User* to create a non-administrative user account.
|
|
|
|
* Move the *Active* switch to the *No* position if the account is not currently active; the default is *Yes*. Use this switch to disable account activity without deleting an account.
|
|
* Use the *New password* field to provide the password associated with the user specified in the *Email* field.
|
|
* Re-enter the password in the *Confirm password* field.
|
|
|
|
To discard a user, and revoke access to pgAdmin, click the trash icon to the left of the row and confirm deletion in the *Delete user?* dialog.
|
|
|
|
Users with the *Administrator* role are able to add, edit and remove pgAdmin users, but otherwise have the same capabilities as those with the *User* role.
|
|
|
|
* Click the *Help* button (?) to access online help.
|
|
* Click the *Close* button to save work. You will be prompted to return to the dialog if your selections cannot be saved.
