Create a user account

User accounts within a domain can be both created and configured only by users with administration rights.

To create a user, proceed as follows:
  1. Access the Explorer > Domain view section in the UBIQUITY Manager.
  2. Select the domain folder first and then select the related Add resource button (circled plus icon).
  3. Select Create user account.
  4. Enter a user name and a password of choice.
    Note: Entering an email address is not mandatory.
  5. You can flag the User must change the password at next sign-in entry to force the user to change their password by their next login.
  6. Once you have created a user account, select it and set its Permission Operations on the right pane of UBIQUITY Manager.
    Note: See Domain user permissions for further information on this subject.

Time-limited users accounts

For each user account, it is possible to set an Expiration date to determine the account deactivation date. Every connection attempt with the expired account will be rejected once the expiration date has passed. An Expired user error will display in the domain sign in screen. The account will not be deleted and its password will not be invalidated, however, the account will not be accessible until reactivated by an administrator.

Only users with Administration or Manage User Accounts permissions can set or modify the Expiration date of a user account.

User e-mail validation

Any email address associated with a domain user shall be validated. Once an email address is validated, it can no longer be associated with any other user account.

Note: Setting up the user email validation process is necessary to enable a Two-Factor Authentication. See Two-Factor authenticationfor further information on this subject.
  1. Access the User profile section by selecting the user icon on the top bar of UBIQUITY Manager and enter or replace an email address in the designated field during the creation of a user account.
  2. The system submits a verification email to the specified address.
  3. Click the link included in the email body to validate the email address.
Note: An email address awaiting validation cannot be used.

The activation status of an email can easily be verified by selecting the user icon on the top bar of UBIQUITY Manager. If your email is not validated, an E-mail not validated message will appear below the related email address.

An email associated with a user account can be deleted any time. To do so, delete the email address from the designated field in the User profile section. For security reasons, the cancellation policy does not apply to administrator accounts of the root domain folder. To delete an administrator user's email address, the domain shall be accessed through a different administrator user that is granted the appropriate permissions.

User password change

Each user can change their password at any time. After you are logged on the domain, you can change your password from the User profile section.

Note: Administrator users can create and change passwords for any user.
