What can you do?

Change profile info for the user

You cannot change the Username of the user. To change more details: Click the Further contact details (address, phone) link. Change the Mobile phone number, Phone number or Address of the user, as needed.

Reset or change the password for the user

To reset the user's password: Click the Reset password link. The memoQ server sends an email to the user, with a link to memoQWebNext's password reset page. When the user clicks that link, they can set their new password.

To change the user's password: Click the Change password link.

Type the new password into the Password field. To see what you are typing: Click the Show command on the right (only do this if nobody is watching your screen).

To save your changes to this section: Click the Save button at the bottom of the section.

Change workflow and profile settings for the user

The two check boxes under Workflows allow the user to check out an online project or download a project package when they sign in to a memoQ server.

The two check boxes under Editing permissions allow the user to change their profile data or their language pairs when they sign in to memoQWebNext.

To save your changes to this section: Click the Save button at the bottom of the section.

Change groups for the user

In memoQ, permissions tell if a user can access a resource and what they can do with it. Use groups to make this easier. A group allows to treat multiple users together: If a group has access to something, all of its members do. Adding a user to a group is much simpler than changing their permissions. To improve security, give permissions to groups instead of single users.

To change the groups the user is a member of: Click the Add/remove user to/from groups link. In the Add user to group window, check the check boxes of the groups you want to add the user to. Clear the check boxes of the groups you want to remove the user from. To save your changes: Click the Apply button. To discard your changes: Click the Cancel link.

If the list is too long: Above the list, start typing into the search bar. You will only see items that match the characters you typed.

Change language pairs for the user

To add another language pair: Click the Add language pair link. A new row appears.

To delete a language pair: Click the Delete  icon on the right of the row.

Disable or delete the user

To prevent the user from signing in: Click the Disable user account link. To allow a user to sign in again: Click the Enable user account link.

To delete the user: Click the Delete user link. A warning window opens. Check the check boxes, and click the Delete user button.

Change more than one user at the same time

To get to the Edit users screen: On the Users screen, check the check boxes of the users you need to edit. Above the list, click the Edit users link.

To change a group of settings: Change the dropdown of those settings to Change (setting name) for selected users to this, and change the settings as needed. Leave all the other dropdowns unchanged.

To save your changes: Click the Update (number) users button.

To return to the Users screen without saving: Click the Cancel link.

When you finish

Currently, memoQWebNext saves the changes you make to group memberships and language pairs.
