How to Create New Users and User Groups?

The Users tool (Figure 1) allows the integrator to better manage their business through the safe and organized management of their users in groups, or individually.

Figure 1 - Users Tool

The main feature of this tool is the creation and editing of users on the thingable! platform. Administrator users can manipulate other users, while non-administrator users can add new users, but without permission to edit them, and provided they have permission to access the Users tool.

It is worth remembering that the creation of a user will only be done by the user himself when he registers on the platform with the e-mail informed.

When opening the tool, in the "Options" column, it is possible to make edits about a user. And in "+" we can add a user:

Figure 2 - Home screen Users - Options

In the "Register User" screen it will be possible to register new users in the application. Initially, you are asked for the email and phone contact, then to assign to which user profile it fits: user or administrator. When this new user registers on the platform, they access the resources that are defined at this time.

Early registration is not a requirement to register. If the registration is done before registration, the user accesses an empty platform until an administrator releases their due resources.

The following is a video explaining in due detail how to register on the thingable! platform

Creating new users on the IoT thingable! platform

In figure 3, in "Functions", we define the level of access of a user. As "User", you will have access only to resources that an administrator user allows and/or to the inherited permissions of a group.

Administrator users will have access to view and edit all existing features on the thingable! platform, including registered users.

In the Groups tab, you can assign the user which groups they have access to:

In the Functions tab (Attention! It does not refer to the functions of the "Basic Information" tab) it is possible to define specific functions for each User. A user can simultaneously accumulate permissions from multiple groups along with the inherited permissions from the Roles tab.
