CommonSpot users with site- and server-level administrative permissions can create and manage users and groups.
CommonSpot's User Administration features give you multiple views of contributors at your site and a flexible means of creating and maintaining users and controlling access.
To manage users within CommonSpot, select Admin - User Administration. The User Administration dialog displays.
Use this dialog to create new user accounts, to view a directory of current users, and to remove users. Click a column head to sort alphabetically by Name, phone number, email address, user type (shared or dedicated contributor, etc.), or time of last login.
Optionally click Show Details to display group membership information in the Names column.
Use the dropdowns in combination with the alphabetical links to refine your search, or filter by selecting user type from the Show dropdown.
Selecting Deleted Users from the Show dropdown displays a list of users marked for deletion, but not permanently deleted because of current CommonSpot activity. You can assign current activity to other users and then permanently delete these users, or "undelete" them.from the Deleted Users view.
