User Administration¶
This section is covering user administration.
Note
If you don’t have the permission to manage other users, you don’t see
the Authentication and Authorization
Section.
Warning
If you have deployed DMP to Heroku, the password you used for the superuser account was written in plain text to the config variables. It is strongly recommended that you change the password upon the first login.
Warning
Superusers should not do everyday tasks. Create staff users.
You add users by clicking on + add
link for the users
in
the Authentication and Authorization
. The following view is shown:
Add a username and a password twice and click on Save and continue
editing
. Then, in the next view, add additional data.
Note
Passwords are not visible, and not saved in plaintext.
To change a password for another user, use this form
link.
Staff status
has to be set for all users of Django-Music-Publisher,
and they have to be assigned to an appropriate permission group. Two
permission groups are set during installation:
Publishing staff
gives all permissions required for everyday publishing workPublishing audit
gives read-only permissions to all data in Music Publisher module
Select one of them and click on the icon that will move it to chosen groups
. Then you can click on save
.
You will be taken to the user list
view. All users are shown here. Just as the add and change views, list views are quite standard. They will be covered a bit later.
Now you can log out, and log in as the newly added staff user. The home view
is a bit different, according to the assigned permissions.
