Administration > Users
You can manage the users who have access the resources (translation memories, term bases, etc.) and projects on the memoQ server. Create new users, modify the details of existing users - including their group membership - or delete users who no longer need access to the server.
How to get here
- Sign in to memoQWeb as an administrator or a project manager.
- On the left sidebar, click the Admin icon.
-
On the Admin screen, click the Users button. The Users screen opens.
What can you do?
Project managers can do less: In the topic below, an asterisk (*) marks the features that PMs can use.
View user details *
The page lists users' username, status, full name, email address, and language pairs.
For OIDC SSO users, username might also be an email address or phone number.
Cannot see a user? Normally, memoQWeb shows users with Active or Disabled status. To approve or reject a user's OIDC SSO registration, first filter the list for the Pending account status.
Search or filter the user list *
To search users: Type something into the search bar above the user list. Press Enter. If the text you typed can be found in some users' name, username or email address, the list will only show those users. To clear the list, click the X icon at the end of the search bar.
To filter the user list by user status, user type, group membership, language, or workflow settings: Click the Filter icon on the right of the search bar. In the Filter users pane, check or clear the Status check boxes, and choose values from the Groups, Source language, Target language, Account type, and Workflows fields as needed.
Account types might differ on each server: The Account type dropdown only shows those account types which are set up on that memoQ server - and those that were set up earlier, and at least one account of that type still exists. For example, a memoQ server once had Windows SSO set up, but now the company uses Azure AD SSO. The memoQ server administrator turned off Windows SSO, but did not remove all the Windows SSO user accounts. So the Windows user item is still there in the Account type dropdown.
