2. Admin should be able to lock the user, as currently it only unlocks it via user management dialog. 3. There were some indefinite login page loading issues when trying to log in with invalid password, where it should redirect to the login page again instead. refs #6337 (Initial patch by Khushboo Vashi)

`User Management Dialog`:index:
|

*******************************
|
|
|
|
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 *Search* field to specify a criteria and review a list of users
|
|
that matches with the specified criteria. You can enter a value that matches
|
|
the following criteria types: *Authentication source*, *Username*, or *Email*.
|
|
For example, you can enter *ldap* in the search box and only the records having
|
|
*ldap* as authentication source will be displayed in the *User Management* table.
|
|
|
|
To add a user, click the Add (+) button at the top right corner.

|
Provide information about the new pgAdmin role in the row:
|
|
|
|
* Use the drop-down list box next to *Authentication source* field to select the
|
|
type of authentication that should be used for the user. If LDAP
|
|
authentication is not enabled for pgAdmin, then *Authentication source* field
|
|
is disabled.
|
|
* Click in the *Username* field, and provide a username for the user. This field
|
|
is enabled only if you select *ldap* as authentication source. If you select
|
|
*internal* as authentication source, your email address is displayed in the
|
|
username field.
|
|
* Click in the *Email* field, and provide an email address for the user.
|
|
* Use the drop-down list box 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. This field is disabled if you select *ldap*
|
|
as authentication source since LDAP password is not stored in the pgAdmin database.
|
|
* Re-enter the password in the *Confirm password* field. This field is disabled
|
|
if you select *ldap* as authentication source.
|
|
* Move the *Locked* switch to the *True* position if you want to lock the account;
|
|
the default is *False*. This functionality is useful when a user is locked by trying unsuccessful login attempts.
|
|
|
|
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.
