Logging in as Administrator

With the server software installed and the server started, the Administrator will be able to log in to the iCR Navigator and gain access to the User Administrator features which will permit the admin to add new Users and update their properties in the future.

To gain access to iCR's User Administration capabilities, the Administrator logs into iCR. From the login screen, enter the Administrator's username and password.

Note: When iCR is first installed, there is a default user name for the Administrator already included. The username is admin and the default password is admin. It is strongly recommended that the password be changed using the Change Password feature from the Settings menu immediately upon entering the Administrator's session.

Once logged into iCR as an Administrator, the top menu in the Navigator is different. There is now an additional menu item labeled Users.

This menu is used by the Administrator to perform 3 key operations:

1. Create new Users

2. Edit or modify a User's data

3. Remove a User

Each of these steps will be explained in subsequent sections of this guide.

When the Users menu item is selected, the Navigator enters into Administrator mode. The display is updated to present User information.

The Administrator display presents one line for each valid user including the Administrator. That information covers:

• The User's username;

• The name of the person associated with that username;

• The User's E-mail address which may be used for notifications;

• The User's role. A User may be a regular Member who can perform analyses. However, Users may be given the extra role of Admin as well. As an Administrator, the User also retains all of the same capabilities of a regular member;

• Two action buttons used to enable either modifying a User's properties or removing them.

As the number of Users grows, the list may extend beyond the maximum number of Users set for display. At the bottom left of the Administrator screen is a display showing the maximum number of Users to be displayed per page. It can be set to 5, 10 or 20.

If the number of Users exceeds the maximum number chosen for the display, the scroll control bar at the bottom right of the window allows the Administrator to scroll across one page at a time ">" or "<", or quickly jump to the start "<<" or end ">>" of the User pages.

Finally, to help the Administrator manage a potentially large collection of Users, there are filters at the top left of the User list to help.

There is a Search field which accepts a string and filters the list displaying only those entries where that string appears in the username.

There is a Role filter that allows the Administrator to only look for, for example, other admins.
