User Management

Create User

Users on portal are registerd by themselves. However once the user is registered he is not assigned to any role nor organization so he can't use the portal, his privileges are the same as Guest user.

User can register from link on Login Dialog - "Create Accout".  Mandary fields of register form are: First Name, Last Name, Screen name, Email address. Fields Screen name and Email address must be unique within the portal. 

This tutorial shows how the user can register and change his password. 

Assign User to Role

Term definitions: according to Prolix documentation and metodologies user role defines user rights within all prolix components. However in Liferay portal there are two distinct entities which defines privilegies. We are using Liferay user groups for the functionality of Prolix roles. Liferay roles has different meaning, they defines what users can do in the portal only, not in the Prolix components.

There are predefined User Groups in Portal. Administrator just assign users to this gorups. One user can be member of several groups, e.g. he can play several roles in Prolix.

This tutorial shows how administrator can assign user to the group.

Assign User to Organization

This deployment of Portal is used for several Testbed organizations. Prolix components respects this separation and split the data according the organization. Every user must be member of excatly one organization.

This tutorial shows how administrator can assign user to the organization.

Export Users

All user data are stored in internal portal database and exported to LDAP directory for use by other Prolix components. Some data are synchromized when they are changed - forinstance user password, but entire structure of organizations and groups must be exported manualy.

Administrator must call "Export Users" whenever he assigns users to roles and organizations.
