User accounts in Hornbill consist of two types, '''Application Users''' and '''Basic Users''':
+
Hornbill user accounts are used for people that are internal to your organization who wish to interact within Hornbill, either by using one of the applications or to request service via the [[Employee Portal]] (self-service). User Management includes the creation, archiving, suspending, and deletion of user accounts.
 
<br>

−
* '''Application Users''' (User Type = '''User''') are those that can have access to the entire suite of Collaborative features and Business Applications you have installed on the Hornbill Platform. The level of access to each of the applications is controlled by the Roles that are associated to these User accounts. The number of Application User accounts is governed by your paid for Subscriptions. You will be allowed to create Application user accounts as long as you have enough subscriptions available.
+
User accounts are created and managed via '''Configuration > Platform Configuration''' under the section '''User & Guest Access'''. To create and manage user accounts your user must be assigned the "'''Admin Role'''" security role.

== User List ==
 +
[[File:Configurationuserlist.PNG|400px|thumb|<div align="center">The User accounts list can be found under Platform Configuration</div>]]
 +
'''Filters'''
 +
<br>Several filters are available at the top left of the user list:
 +
:* '''Search for User'''  
 +
:: Begin typing to filter the list of user accounts. The filter operates on User id, handle, first name, last name.
 +
:* '''User Account Type'''
 +
:: Select to view ''Full'' User accounts only, ''Basic'' User accounts only, or ''All'' User accounts.
 +
:* '''User Account Status'''
 +
:: Filter the list to see which accounts are Active, Suspended, or Archived.
 
<br>
 
<br>
−
* '''Basic Users''' (User Type = '''Basic''') are people that are internal to your Organisation that will consume the content and Services that your Application Users deliver via the Hornbill Applications. Basic Users are restricted to accessing this content and services via the '''Hornbill Service Portal'''. As such, Basic Users do not require a Subscription, and the number allowed is unlimited.
+
'''Action Buttons'''
 +
<br>These can be found at the top right of the list and are used to manage the user accounts. Where applicable, multiple user accounts can be acted upon when using the checkbox against each user account in the list.
 +
:* [[File:createnewuserbutton.png|150px|link=]] '''Create New Users'''
 +
:: Manually create individual user accounts. If [[User Templates]] have been created, an additional drop-down selector will be available to select a user template when creating a new user.
 +
:* [[File:csvuploadusersbutton.png |35px|link=]] '''Upload Users'''
 +
:: The Upload option provides a way to create multiple accounts using a CSV file.  This is useful for small, one time imports. Other import options include the Hornbill [[LDAP User Import]] and Auto-provisioning.
 +
:* [[File:deleteuserbutton.png |35px|link=]] '''Delete Users'''
 +
:: Deleting a user completely removes the account from Hornbill and cannot be reversed. Deleting a user should only be used when the user has not had any interaction in Hornbill. This can be used to remove accounts that have been mistakenly added or uploaded. This option is only available when the user who performs the deletion has allocated the Super User Role.
 +
:* [[File:reactivateuserbutton.png|35px|link=]] '''Reactivate Users'''
 +
:: When one or more users have been suspended or archived, you can select these users from the list and reactivate them.
 +
:* [[File:suspenduserbutton.png|35px|link=]] '''Suspend Users'''
 +
:: The suspension of a user prevents the account from logging on to Hornbill. Other Hornbill users will be able to continue to interact with a suspended account. Suspended users can be reactivated. A user can be automatically suspended by providing too many incorrect passwords at login.
 +
:* [[File:archiveuserbutton.png |35px|link=]] '''Archive Users'''
 +
:: Archiving a user prevents the account from logging on to Hornbill and will also prevent other users from interacting with this account.  Historic contributions within the collaboration features will be intact and visible, but they will no long be available as a co-worker.  This is the recommended option for when someone leaves.  Archived users can be reactivated.

When creating a User account in any of the ways outlined below, you will be asked to specify the User Type. If in future you wish to promote a Basic User account to an Application User account in order for them to take advantage of the Collaborative features and other Business Apps, this can be done quickly and easily via Hornbill Administration.
+
 
 +
== Account Types ==
 +
Users are categorized into two account types, Full Users and Basic Users. Full User type accounts are used for full access to Hornbill Collaboration and the different available apps and require a subscription to login. Basic Users accounts are used for [[Employee Portal]] access only and are subscription free. The term "[[Co-Workers]]" is used to collectively describe Users and Basic user accounts. The term Co-Worker is used outside of Hornbill Configuration.

== Creating Users ==
 
−
 
−
User Accounts are created and managed via Hornbill Administration. To Create more Users, you will need to ensure your User account has the following roles associated:
 
−
* '''Admin Role''' - This role provides administrative functionality to the collaboration core and should only be granted to an administrator.

===Creating an Individual User Account===
 
−
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
 
−
Navigate to Hornbill Administration and in the context of Instance Configuration, click the ''Users, Roles & Organisations'' menu item, then the ''Users'' option. You will be presented with the list of currently existing User Accounts.
 
−
<ol>
 
−
<li>Click on ''Create New User'' located at the top right of the list</li>
 
−
<li>Supply the mandatory information in ''Basic Information''</li>
 
−
<li>Change any regional settings as required</li>
 
−
<li>Under ''Security settings'' select the appropriate roles for that user</li>
 
−
<li>Click on 'Create User''</li>
 
−
</ol>

:* '''Application (Full) Users'''
−
</div>
+
:: Full Users are those that can have access to the entire suite of Collaborative features and Business Applications you have installed on the Hornbill Platform. The level of access to each of the applications is controlled by the [[Roles]] that are associated to these User accounts. The number of Application User accounts is governed by your paid for Subscriptions. You will be allowed to create Application user accounts as long as you have enough subscriptions available.
−
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-collapsetext="Show Less" data-expandtext="Read More" style="width:1000px">
 
−
===Creating Multiple User Accounts via CSV Upload===
 
−
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
 
−
When a large number of user accounts need to be created, a CSV file can be a quick and simple way to achieve this.  A CSV template is provided which includes some of the standard fields that are required to create a new user account.
 
−
<ol>
 
−
<li>From the User list menu, select ''Upload Users''</li>
 
−
<li>Click on the ''Download Template File'' button</li>
 
−
<li>Populate the CSV Template File with the users that you wish to upload</li>
 
−
<li>Click on the ''Select CSV File to Upload'' button</li>
 
−
<li>View and check upload results</li>
 
−
</ol>
 
−
 
 
−
The CSV template consists of the following fields:
 
−
:* '''userId''' - The User Id should ideally be made up of alphanumeric characters although full stops (.) and underscores (_) are permissible. The User Id plays a key role in the database relationships so once it is created, it is not possible to amend. This is a mandatory field.
 
−
:* '''name''' - This field will form the "Handle" for the User. This is what will be visible when posting to a Workspace or Request Timeline eg: "'''Harry Hornbill''' posted on Workspace '''Hornbill Collaboration Discussion'''". In this example, Harry Hornbill would be the Handle. This field can be amended at any time. This is a mandatory field so a value must be provided for the upload.
 
−
:* '''password''' - The password which the User will use to log on to the Hornbill Platform. This is a mandatory field.
 
−
:* '''firstName''' - The first name of the User. This is a mandatory field.
 
−
:* '''lastName''' - The last name of the User. This is a mandatory field.
 
−
:* '''jobTitle''' - The Users Job Title. This field is optional, and can be left blank.
 
−
:* '''phone''' - The Users telephone number. This field is optional, and can be left blank.
 
−
:* '''email''' - The email address of the User.This is a mandatory field.
 
−
:* '''mobile''' - The mobile number of the User. This field is optional, and can be left blank.
 
−
:* '''role''' - The Hornbill roles that this User requires to perform their day to day duties within Hornbill should be specified here. All those who will access the Platform require the "Collaboration Role" as a minimum. In addition, if they are a Support Desk Analyst, then they may also require the "Incident Management User" role. When specifying multiple roles in this field they should be separated by a colon (''':'''). e.g. to associate the two roles mentioned here, the contents of the role field will look like:  '''Collaboration Role:Incident Management User'''. If you wish to associate roles to Users later via the individual User accounts, then this field can be left blank.  
 
−
:* '''userType''' - The User Type is used to specify whether the User will be a Standard User (full platform access based on the Subscriptions) or a Basic User (access is restricted to the Hornbill Service Portal). If nothing is specified in this field, the User Type will default to Standard User.
 
 
<br>
 
<br>
−
If you plan on using a third party automation tool to generate the CSV, the case of the field headings is important. The CSV upload function is expecting the field headings in the following order and format:
+
:* '''Basic Users'''
−
'''userId, name, password, firstName, lastName, jobTitle, phone, email, mobile, role, userType'''. If the headings are in any other form, out of sequence, or missing, the Upload will be unsuccessful.  
+
:: Basic Users are people that are internal to your Organisation that will consume the content and Services that your Application Users deliver via the Hornbill Applications. Basic Users are restricted to accessing this content and services via the [[Employee Portal]]. The content that a Basic User can access is controlled by the [[Roles]] that are associated to these user accounts. Basic Users do not require a Subscription, and the number allowed is unlimited.
