Panel Name fwAccessControl/fwAccessControl_UserList.pnl
Introduction

List of users

This panel displays the list of users defined in the system, and allows to inspect their details, modify, create and delete users (depending on the access rights).

The panel has two modes of operation: edit mode, presented in Figure 1, and view mode, presented in Figure 2.

Figure 1: The User List panel in edit mode
Figure 2: The User List panel in view mode
In the view mode, only inspection of users is possible (only View button is available in Figure 2), whereas in the edit mode, it is possible to add, delete and modify users (Add,Delete, Edit buttons visible on Figure 1).

The mode of operation is determined by the privileges of the user:

  • if current user has no User Administration privilege (see the Setup panel), the mode is set to view.
  • otherwise, if current user has User Administration privilege, the mode is set to edit.

The panel allows to filter the names of displayed users: in Figure 1, the Filter field is empty, and all defined users are displayed in the panel. In Figure 2, however, the Filter was set to J*, and only the users the names (or full names) of which match the expression, are displayed. The wildcard character, * (asterisk) may be used in the filter expression to stand for any string of characters. The filter is not case-sensitive, e.g. the Abc* filter expression would match names (or full names) such as ABC, aBcDe, etc.
