Editing and deleting a user
From the user's editing view, you can edit the user's basic information in the same way as when you created the user.
You can also see which teams the user belongs to in the Team section, but adding and removing teams must be done through the team management. Click on the team name to edit the team.
In addition, you can add and remove user specific usage rights to different objects. However, the recommended way is to grant usage rights using teams: Teams.
User usage rights
The user's usage rights are presented using two lists:
Inherited from teams
User specific rights
Both points have a similar list of items to which the user has access, either through the team or directly through the usage rights granted to the user.
The usage rights are listed by object in the list, and each line first shows the object's type in smaller font, and below it in larger font, the object's name. The team's usage rights to the object are represented by different colored icons. By moving the mouse over the icon, you can see the name of the usage right.
Usage rights icon colors
Icon color | Meaning |
|---|---|
Dark blue | This usage right does not exist for this item. |
Green | The usage right in question has been given to the object in this usage right line. |
