The Users interface allows the privileged user to maintain users of the application. Specifically, this interface allows users to add new users, edit user information, and edit user permissions. When the user selects the Users icon (), this interface will appear:
The User Maintenance interface is divided into two sections: All Users and Edit User. These sections are identifiable by their headings. There are some controls offered in these sections:
| Control | Section | Description |
| User Type | All Users | This picklist is used to choose which type of users to display on the table (Active, Inactive, or All). |
| "Type here to search" | All Users | This textbox is used to jump to a given user. |
| Delete Selected | All Users | This link is used to remove the selected user from the system. To select a user for deletion, the desired row's checkbox must be clicked before selecting the link. If the user is referenced somewhere else in the system, they cannot be deleted; instead, they can be given the status of "Inactive." |
| Last Name | Edit User | This textbox is used to edit the last name of the selected user; required. |
| First Name | Edit User | This textbox is used to edit the first name of the selected user; required. |
| Username | Edit User | This textbox is used to edit the username of the selected user; required. The username should match the Domain login of the user as assigned in ALDOT Active Directory by an administrator. |
| Email Address | Edit User | This textbox is used to edit the email address of the selected user. |
| User Status Dropdown | Edit User | This picklist is used to edit the status of the selected user. |
| Edit Permissions Link | Edit User | This link opens a pop-up menu to add/remove the permissions for the currently selected user. |
| Permissions Table | Edit User | This table is used to view the list of permissions currently assigned to the user. |
| Add New User | Edit User | This button is used to add a new user to the application. |
| Save Changes | Edit User | This button is used to save changes applied to the user. |
| Discard Changes | Edit User | This button is used to discard changes applied in the current session. |
When the user selects the "Edit Permissions" link, this pop-up will appear:
The Available table shows all the permissions contained in the system, while the Current table shows the permissions assigned to the selected user. If a new user is added, the Current table will appear blank like in the image above. To add new permissions to a new or existing user, the user must click on one or more permissions in the Available table, then click the "Add" button to assign them to the user and move them to the Current table. To remove a permission from a new or existing user, the user must click on one or more permissions in the Current table, then click the "Remove" button to unassign those permissions and move them to the Available table. Once the desired changes are made to the user's permissions, the user can simply close this pop-up and the Users interface will reflect the changes. To save them to the system, the user must select "Save Changes" on the Users interface.
