Adding a New User

This process enables you to create and maintain the different types of users in your uStore environment.

 The list of fields displayed in the User Setup page is defined in Presets > User Details Setup. For more information, see Setting Up User Details Fields.

To create a user:

1.       Hover over the Users view and select Create New User.
The User Setup page is displayed. View image

2.       Configure the following user properties:

–      First Name: user’s first name.

–      Last Name: user’s last name.

–      Assign to Store:  Determines if the user credentials are valid for all allowed stores or for a specific store only. In the latter case, uStore allows you to have several users with the same email address assigned to different stores. When you assign the user to all stores, uStore allows only one user with the same email address. User assignment to a store does not override the permissions setup in the User Group.

–      Include in Groups: Lists all User Groups defined for this user in the uStore system. By selecting the desired User Group, you can determine which stores this user will be able to access. To start using uStore, a user must be part of at least one User Group. To add a user to one or more User Groups, click the Add link, and in the Add to Group window select the User Group to which you want to add the user.

–      Email: Serves as this user’s user name when logging in to uStore Back Office or uStore Storefront.

 To edit the regular expression used in order to validate the user email address, see UserEmailValidation_RegEx in the Global Configurations Table.

–      Password: Serves as this user’s password when logging in to uStore.

Each user must be included in a user group to have permission to uStore.

A group has permissions to either Storefront stores, where each store may have a different password policy, or to the Back Office (for example, administrators), which has a password policy of its own.

When entering a password in the Password field:

§       If the user is part of a Storefront group, the password must match the password policy of the group's allowed store.

§       If the user is part of a Back Office group, the password must match the Back Office password policy (defined in Presets > System setup > Global configuration > Admin Password policy).

§       If the user is included in both Storefront and Back Office groups, the administrator policy will always take precedence over the Storefront password policy.

–      Confirm Password: Re-enter the password that you entered in the Password field.

–      You can optionally enter the following fields: Phone Number, Mobile Number, Fax Number, Company Name, Department, Job Title.

–      External ID: Enables you to distinguish a user with an identification number. This is useful when creating custom made plug-ins for your store.

–      User is locked out: This checkbox is available for locking out a user. The lockout may happen automatically if the password policy of the store to which the user registered is set to lock out users after a certain number of invalid login attempts. Once the user is locked out, this checkbox is automatically checked and the "User is locked out" message appears in red. The Store administrator can unlock the user’s account by clearing this checkbox.

–        Download User Data: Downloads an XML file containing user details, including personal information, such as name, email, phone number, billing and shipping addresses, and order details. This option may be useful for GDPR purposes.
