User Account

Before logging into JPAC a user must have an account. The account defines:

• The identity of the user
• The email address used to sent notifications to the user
• The access the user has to JPAC through permissions.
• Various settings that control how JPAC operates for the user.

Accounts can be added to Groups to help with controlling access. Each account can be in any number of groups. 

There are two types of User Account:

1. Admin Accounts: Admins have full permission to everything within their subscription. Applying permissions to an admin account has no effect as an admin's access cannot be restricted. Each subscription must have at least one admin account.
2. Standard Accounts: Standard accounts are used for everyone who is not an admin. Permissions set against a standard account are enforced by JPAC. Each subscription can have any number of standard accounts.

The following applies to all accounts, whether an admin account or a standard account:

• An account can only be used to access the subscription that the account belongs to. If access is required for more than one subscription, then a separate account is required for each subscription.
• The same email address can be used for multiple accounts, even with different subscriptions.
• Accounts can only be created by an admin for the subscription.
• An admin account can be changed to a standard account and a standard account can be changed to an admin account.
  • When a standard account is change to be an admin account any permissions applied to the account are retained, but they are ignored while the account is an admin account. If the account is reverted back to a standard account, the existing permissions will be enforced again.
  • Only an admin can change an account between standard account and admin account, or visa versa.
  • An admin cannot change their own account to a standard account. This ensures the rule that a subscription must have at least one admin account is enforced.

Creating a user account

First navigate to the list of accounts using the Admin menu.

Use the add icon above the list to then create a user account. The account will automatically be a standard user. 

To make the user Admin, use the edit button and then change the 'is admin' toggle (shown below). 

Deactivating a User Account

An account can be set as Inactive by an admin user. An inactive account cannot be used to log into JPAC i.e. an Inactive account is locked out.  Note: An inactive account can be set back to active again by an admin.

• From the list of User Accounts, use the edit icon to change the status of the User to inactive.
• To reactivate an account, use the more button at the top of the list to filter results to inactive or any, then use the edit button to change the status back to active.

Deleting a User Account

Once an account has been made Inactive, it can then be deleted by an admin.

1. Use the more button to filter results to inactive or any.
2. Use the bin icon to permanently delete the Requirement.
