Users

A user is a person who can login to BizzStream with a username and password. A user can have access to multiple environments, and these environments may belong to different organizations. A user account is thus an entity that does not belong to a particular environment, but to the system as a whole.

User accounts cannot be deleted. To prevent a user from accessing your environment, you have to deactivate it (see below).

Global and Environment settings

Each user has two set of properties:

Global properties affect the user account as a whole. Only a user him/herself can change the global properties.
Environment properties only affect a user in a particular environment. Environment properties can be changed by the user him/herself and the administrators of the environment.

Property	Type	Description
ID	Global	The unique identifier of the user.
Username	Global	The name with which the user logs in.
E-mail	Global	System related e-mails, such as the "I forgot my password" mail, are sent to the global e-mail address.
Environment	Global	The default environment that is opened when the user logs in.

Creating a user

Administrators can create a new user by completing these steps:

Go to Settings and select Users .
Click the New button .
Enter the name of the new user in the Name field. This is the user's name in the environment.
Enter a valid email address.
Select the user's language and locale.
Select the Active checkbox to ensure that the new user has access to this environment.

Note: It is important to enter a valid email address. BizzStream will send a verification email to the user that has to be clicked in order to validate the user. Only after validation will the user be able to log in.

Note: BizzStream will use the email address as username. In case a user with the email address already exists, the user will be linked to the environment.

Note: User accounts can also be created by external system via a REST-call or by scripts.

The new user will receive an email with a link to an enrollment page. On this page he/she can change his username (pre-filled with the user email) and create his/her own password. This password should contain at least eight characters of which: one number, one special character, one uppercase and one lowercase letter.

Deactivate a user

As administrator, you can deactivate a user in an environment by completing the following steps:

Go to Settings and select Users . You will be shown an overview of all the users.
Select the user you wish to deactivate from the list.
Click on the Edit button .
Uncheck the Active field in the Modify User dialog.
Please click the Save button.

Note: By deactivating a user, he or she can no longer use the current environment. In case the user has access to other environments, the access will remain active in those environments.

Resetting Passwords
