Users & roles

Before you start

Role management permission is required. Give floor and read-only accounts only the access they need.

Steps

  1. Create a user and set a password of at least 8 characters.
  2. Assign roles and warehouses, save and ask the user to verify accessible functions.
  3. Verify the target before disabling or resetting; clear two-step authentication only when appropriate.

Verify the result

Test permitted and forbidden functions as the target user, not just with your administrator account.

Notes and examples

Default admin/distributiongo credentials produce a reminder rather than a forced change. Change them before production use.

Limitations

Five failed attempts lock access for 15 minutes. Disabled status, password reset and TOTP are separate settings.

Troubleshooting

Missing menus require role and warehouse checks. Lost TOTP access requires the administrator's existing reset procedure.
