Reference:BlueSpiceUserManager

The User manager is an extension developed by Hallo Welt! to facilitate the user management.

Where do I find UserManager?

In the left navigation you will find "Admin". There is a listing of admin functions. Click on "User manager". You see the Admin navigation only if you have administration rights.

Functions of UserManager

In the user manager you can add and delete users as well as change settings.

Change settings

You can change the following settings:

	Add user	Add new users. You need to fill in the following information: User name, new password, retype password, e-mail, real name (this name will be shown in the articles)
	Edit user data	Change user name, e-mail or real name. In case you have forgotten your password, a new password can be allocated to you. Create a new password and confirm it. Change the groups a user belongs to. Mark the groups and click "ok". To define rights for groups have a look at the group manager or permission manager. Attention: All users always belong to the groups "*" and "user".
	Delete user	After a confirmation the account will be deleted.

Note: It is not allowed to use your user name as password. The system will show the error "wrong password". This is very important especially if you have an LDAP connection. MediaWiki will create a user but the user can't registrate with this password.

Edit Groups

The following groups can be administrated:

bot - Permission for WikiBot
bureaucrat - constitute sysops
sysop - Group of system adminstrators

Searching for users

If your are looking for a certain user, you don't have to scroll through all pages anymore. Just use the filters that are defined for every column. For example type the first letters of a user name into the filter field to find a certain user. Or choose a group like "administrators" to get the information who is an administrator in this wiki. You can also sort all results (ascending and descending).
