- Creating Users (Profile)
- ========================
-
- A Profile (=user) has a unique identity in the system and can be tagged as an "onwer" to a data record.
- Profiles can also be assigned Roles that restrict what they can do. You can also define custom logic
- for a Profile
-
- To create a new Profile:
-
- #. Create a new Profile via "New" on the top toolbar
- #. Enter the mandatory "First Name" and "Email" values
- #. "Save" the profile via the "Save" button
- #. The user will be sent an email with her random-genereated password. You can also set a custom password
- by clicking on the "Password" tab and setting the password.
- #. *To assign a role, click on the "Roles" tab and add a "Role" in the table.*
-
- Once a Profile is created, the user can login with the login id (email) and password.
-
- .. note::
-
- Profiles are given an id that is the same as their email id. Why did we do this?
-
- * Email Ids are good unique identifiers. Your users may have the same first and last names,
- but they would have separate Email Ids
- * People usually remember their email ids
- * Email Ids are these days the de-facto way to define login-ids
