-====== User management ====== 
  
-The user management features, accessed via the top-right cog menu in Sentori, allow you to create new users, modify details of an existing user, import users from other accounts, and to take away access privileges. 
- 
-===== Adding users ===== 
- 
-If you are creating a user who is totally new to Sentori then you should select the add user icon. You will then be asked to provide identification information for the user and to set a default password. The details of the new user will be entered on the same screen that is used to edit a user, and which is described below. 
- 
-If you want to grant access to the Sentori account for someone who already has a Sentori user account, then you should use the Import User option. In this case you will not be required to enter any details of the user except for the person'​s email address. However, you may want to edit the users details subsequent to granting access as, when users are imported, they are given the status of general [[general-users|user]],​ any you want to make them an [[admin-users|administrator]]. 
- 
-===== Editing user details ===== 
- 
-When you edit a user's details changes will apply to all accounts that the user can access. For example if you change the name, then the name will change in all client accounts. ​ The exceptions to this are the permission and user type settings, which apply only to the account you are currently in. 
- 
-Having selected edit user you will see a screen like the one below. 
-

-|Email Address|Used as part of the users login, helpdesk access, and notification emails.|

-|Password (Confirm) |The password needs to be entered twice to ensure to try to avoid mistakes.| ​ 
-|Access to this account | Access can either be set to Enabled or Disabled. Users cannot be deleted so it you want to deny access this should be set to Disabled. *| 
-|Data Manager| If enabled, the user can add and upload contacts and add to the [[loading-suppression-list|suppression list]].| 
- 
-* These settings apply only to the current client account.

-User accounts should never be shared, and all users should be advised of the importance of keeping their passwords private and secure.
