Users

• Users in GLOBALedit can now have unique User Names for login purposes. This allows multiple user accounts to be created for one email address, ideal for publicists who represent more than one talent. The user name can be anything the user desires.

User Search

• Choose Users > User Search to find users on GLOBAledit, and search by any or all of the given criteria.

• The results returned will be listed in alphabetical order. Click on the Name of the user or press the icon to edit the permissions or information of the user.

Change User Password

• To change a user's password in the system, click the user's name in the list, fill out the New Password fields as instructed, and press Save Changes. You can create a new password for the user if he has forgotten his password.

Login as User

• You can generate a one-time link to login as a desired user. Check the Generate a one-time link to login as this user box and then click Save Changes. An email will be sent to you that contains the link. Once accessed, the link will become invalid.

• It is important to note that any changes made while logged in as this user via the one-time link will be seen in this user's account.

Unlock User

• If a user tries to login with an incorrect password too many times, the user will be locked out for security reasons.
• To unlock a user, check the Unlock User box from the user info page and then click Save Changes.

Add New User

• Choose User > Add New User and enter the required information.

• The User Name will be what the user uses to log in to the system.
• Check the appropriate boxes to enable tools and features for the user, such as Cart, Lightboxes, or Search. See User Permissions for descriptions for each user permission.
• Once the user is created, the new username and password will be emailed to you, the Admin user -- which you can then forward to the new user.
  • You can also specify the password you wish to set for the user.
