icon_alert2The following sections describe the administration of System Users. Portal users, e.g. faculty and staff, are managed separately.

If the Credentials module is installed, see Control Panel > Manage Faculty & Staff members. Otherwise, see Administration > Xitracs Portal > Users.

 

Users can be added to the system individually or via an import file.

4.Enter a Password, or leave blank if the system is connected to a central authentication server. (See Authentication/Single Sign-On).

5.Optionally, set an Expiry Date for the password. This does not affect and central authentication.
