System users can be registered manually, or by sending a message to an email address. The unique attributes of users are the login and the email address.
The system supports mixed authentication, that is, ALM accounts and LDAP directory accounts can be used at the same time. An ALM account must have a password, and that password is not stored in the database. If the password is lost, it can only be reset to another password.
When built-in authentication is used, you can configure the lifetime of the cookies used to store the user session. Cookie settings are made under Administration - Settings - Application.
Some users can be administrators, which is controlled by an option on the user card. Administrators:
Administrative access is separate from access to projects and their data. To get access to a project, the user must be explicitly included in the project with a given Role. You can do this from the context menu on the row with the user name, the item "Include in project".
Blocking user accounts is intended to restrict access to the application while preserving information about Participants, completed Tasks, and prepared project artifacts.
