Manage Users

Description

This page allow an administrator to manage the users in the system.

It essentially supplies a list of users defined in the system. The user names are linked to a page where you can change the user's name, access level, and projects to which they are assigned. You can also reset their passwords through this page.

At the top, there is also a list of new users (who have created an account in the last week), and accounts where the user has yet to log in.

New users are created using the "Create User" link above the list of existing users. Note that the username must be unique in the system. Further, note that the user's real name (as displayed on the screen) cannot match another user's user name.

After creating the user with mantis, open mantis_user_table, set the password field to empty. login to Mantis using the new user id without password(remember, you juts set to EMPTY), now you can set the new password using Mantis UI!!

I think it's not too obvious, but when you click "Prune accounts" and get the message "Are you sure you want to delete old accounts that have never logged in?" old, in this case means older than a week.

Where are the user "Access Levels" defined? (e.g., Reviewer, Updater, etc.)

Thanks!

About the privileges of each type of user:
reporter: report a bug
updater: update the bug issue
developer: fix the bug
administrator= root all rights
viewer: view bugs, but how it works, I define a developer, a reporter and I would like to create an account to see a bug report (this account must not be able to add or modify any bugs for the project). Or may be there is a way to generate a report for a specific project via a crontab ?

Hello, is it possible to add accounts or user groups? We have different customers with more than one individual reporting bugs. Would be nice to view bug reports based on customers/accounts instead of pr user.

blesstiti, for staff who leaves the company, I would recommend the following:

1. Filter on all issues that are assigned to them, and unassign them or assign them to different stuff.

2. Disable the user account. This is by setting the enabled flag for this user to false.

Once an account is disabled, the following applies to it:

1. The user will not be able to login anymore.

2. No email notifications will be sent to the user.

3. The user account will not appear in user lists.

Up until Mantis 1.0.0rc1, if you update an account that is reported by a disable, the reporter will be changed to the first in the list. This is because the reporter is not found in the list of available users. This will eventually get fixed, but it is worth knowing about this issue.

Hopefully this answers your question.

Thanks Victor!

Also, I would like to know what is the great advantage of upgrading Mantis from Mantis 0.17.3 to latest version? To me, the speed is the major issue. 0.17.3 seems loading the page quite slow (bcoz other web site browse quite fast at the same time). Will the latest version solve this prob?

Hello, Till their is no feature to add groups, but you can do one thing , create one account in the name of the group, and share the password among the members of the group. but still the group management still lacks in the current mantis version, and it would be really appreciated if netoffice, and mantis can be integrated.

In order to disable the NEVER LOGGED IN USERS information you could edit the manage_user_page.php file and delete the lines between the comments "# Never Logged In Form BEGIN" and "# Never Logged In Form END"

On this "manage_user_edit_page.php" page there are items that are undocumented. The less self-explanatory of them are:

Enabled:
Protected:

What are they?

What is a "protected" account?

You can't change the attributes or preferences for a protected account. This is a great idea for a guest account where you don't want, say, the email address to change.

Is it possible to restrict viewing of some issues by a group of users?
I wish to separate internal (developers) bug reports from end-users reports.

Hello,

In Mantis, at user creation, it is considered invalid to have a "." in the username.

Is there a way to modify that?
It would be easier for user to have a Mantis username that has the same format than their E-Mail address.
