Activating new user
After creating a user, the registered email will receive a link for user activation. The user must click the link to define name and password.
The user's status remains as Pending activation until they click the link and complete the process.
IMPORTANTThe activation link is valid for 24 hours.
Resending new user activation link
The activation link sent by email can be resent at any time, including if the first link has expired.
Go to Users.
Locate the user.
Type the username or email in the search field and click SEARCH.
In the Actions column, click >.
In the Basic Info tab, click the three dots icon (â‹®) and select Resend email notification.
Check the user's email and click Send email.
IMPORTANT
- New users will be automatically deactivated after 2 days if they:
- do not complete the activation process; or
- complete the activation process but do not log into the platform.
See more about the rules for deactivating inactive users.
Teams
You don't need to work with teams, but they facilitate the registration of APIs, environments, and custom interceptors, as they allow maintaining access control without having to manage each user separately. When you give visibility to a team in an API registration, for example, all its members will access that API.
To learn more about access to these items, see visibility rules.
You don't need to define the team at the time of user creation — you can add the already created user to one (or more) team(s) later. You can also check existing teams, edit, or create new ones. See here how.
Roles
Roles help organize view and edit permissions for Sensedia product features. It's possible, for example, to group permissions by role played by users, such as administrator, developer, among others.
You don't need to define the role at the time of user creation — you can add the already created user to one or more roles later. You can also check existing roles, edit, or create new ones. See here how.
