If you have LiveCompare Administrator privileges, you can
edit the details for any LiveCompare user account as follows. Changes
made to a user account take effect the next time the user logs in to LiveCompare.
Select
a user from the Administration/Users folder in the LiveCompare hierarchy.
Alternatively, select the Users folder and choose a username from
the list of registered users.
Modify the fields in the Edit User Profile
screen as follows:
Field
Description
Username:
Enter a new username for the account. If the
user account was imported from an LDAP server, this field should not be
modified unless the username for the LDAP account has been changed.
Role:
Select either ‘LiveCompare Consumer’ or ‘LiveCompare
Editor’ to specify a new role for
the user. LiveCompare Consumers or Editors may not be changed to the Administrator
role, and the default ‘admin’ user account created when LiveCompare was
installed may not have its role modified.
Description:
Enter a new description for the user account.
Email address:
Enter a new email address for the user.
Password:
Enter a new password for the user account,
and confirm the password in the ‘Confirm Password:’ field. Note that LiveCompare
passwords are case-sensitive. These fields are not available for user
accounts imported from an LDAP server.
Select this check box to require that the user
changes their password when they next log in to LiveCompare. This field
is not available for user accounts imported from an LDAP server.
DevOps Teams:
Select the DevOps teams to which the user is to be assigned. Users are able to access Apps that have been assigned to matching DevOps categories (as well as Apps that have not been assigned to a category).
Click ‘Save’ to save your changes.
A user account may be renamed by selecting
it from the Users folder in the LiveCompare hierarchy and choosing ‘Rename’
from the context menu. Alternatively, select a user in the hierarchy and
press F2. If the user account was imported from an LDAP server, it should
not be renamed unless the username for the LDAP account has been changed.
If a user account is renamed, the new name
is reflected in all the projects
of which the user is a member.
Personal Data Report
If you have LiveCompare Administrator privileges, click ‘Make Personal Data Report’ in the Edit User Profile screen to generate a Personal Data Report for the selected user. A Personal Data Report list all the places where personally-identifiable information exists for the user in LiveCompare.
Editors
If you have LiveCompare Editor privileges and
your account was created manually in LiveCompare, you can change your
LiveCompare password as follows:
Select your username from the
Administration/Users folder in the LiveCompare hierarchy. Alternatively,
highlight the Users folder and select your username from the list of
users. The Edit User Profile screen is shown for your user account.
Enter your current password, a new password, and the same new password for confirmation. Note that LiveCompare passwords are case-sensitive.
Click ‘Save’ to save your changes.
To change the email address associated with your LiveCompare account, update the Email Address field and click ‘Update’.
Consumers
If you have LiveCompare Consumer privileges and account
was created manually in LiveCompare, you can change your LiveCompare password
by clicking the ‘Change password’ link on the Profile screen. This screen may also be used to update your avatar picture, or to edit the email address associated with your LiveCompare account.
Strong Passwords
The requirement for strong passwords may be set during the installation of LiveCompare, or afterwards by an Administrator in the Configuration - Security screen. A password must match all the following criteria to be considered strong:
At least 8 characters.
At least 1 upper case character.
At least 1 lowercase character.
At least 1 number.
At least 1 special character from this list: ` ¬ ¦ ! " £ $ € ^ & * ( ) - = + [ ] { } ; : ' @ # ~ \ | < > , . / ? <space>
A label next to the password field indicates the strength of the password as you type it. The requirement for strong passwords applies to native accounts only, and not to the passwords for user accounts imported from an LDAP server.
