Managing users in SQL Elements

In order for users to access SQL Elements, you need to grant them access. Additionally, if they want to receive alert emails, you have to enable this option for each user and type the email addresses where they will receive these notifications. 

To add new users, edit their details (name, subscription or email address), or remove them, go to the following options on the Administration tab:

• Manage Users in the Users section
• Manage Subscriptions For All Users in the Alert Emails section

When you open any of these two alternatives, a new window opens with the following options:

• Add User
• Edit User
• Remove User

On this window you can see a list of all registered users with their respective email addresses and if they are subscribed to alerts.

Add User

You need to add users in order to give them access to SQL Elements. To add users, follow these steps:

• Type the name of the user you want to have access to SQL Elements. You should enter a Windows user name in the following format:  <domain\user>. SQL Elements uses Windows authentication to validate users.
• Check the respective box if you want this user to receive alert emails for critical issues. 
• Type the respective email address where you want the user to receive alert emails.
• Click SAVE.
• You should provide the new user with the following URL: http://<ServerName>:9276 (where ServerName is the name of the machine on which you installed the SQL Elements services).

Edit User

This option allows you to edit the user name, modify his/her subscription, and change the email address where they receive alerts. To enable this option, select one user from the list of users, click Edit User. 

On the Edit User screen you can change:

• User Name
• Email address 
• Alert Subscription

After you make your changes, click SAVE.

 

Remove User

If you need to remove one or several users, check the box next to the user or users you want to remove. Click Remove User.
