👥 Users
OpenUEM allows you to add users that can log in to the console and work as administrators.
OpenUEM will have roles and there’s an open issue for that feature in the project’s roadmap
As an administrator you can add more users, or you can approve register requests that users have requested.
Don’t forget to add SMTP settings so users can receive emails about the registration
1. Create a new user
You can create a new user directly by clicking on the Add User button and by filling in the form fields.
The new user will show in the Users’ table with the state Pending email confirmation. An email will be sent to the user, so the email address is confirmed.
Here’s a sample of the message to confirm the email address.
The user register’s state will change to Review request. Now, go to the approve request section
2. Import users
OpenUEM lets you import many users using comma-separated values files (CSV).
Once you upload the users file, a certificate will be sent to the user with instructions to log in. So, by importing users, you won’t have to approve the user’s request, and the user won’t have to confirm the email address.
3. Approve register requests
If you create a new user or a user has requested to register in OpenUEM you’ll see the user on the users’ table with the Review request warning, waiting to be approved.
Click on the three dots button to generate a digital certificate, accepting the request from the user.
The certificate will be sent to the user, and you’ll see that the state will change to Certificate sent. The message will include the user certificate that has to be imported to the users's browser and the CA certificate that has to be imported as trusted authority too.
Once the user logs in for the first time, you’ll see that the state changes to Completed.
Otherwise delete the user and ignore the request.
4. Regenerate a certificate
If you need to generate a new certificate for one of your users, either the certificate was compromised or the user never received the certificate, you can click on the three dots icons and use the Regenerate certificate option. The old certificate will be automatically revoked, and a new certificate will be sent to the user.
