User Management

Guide for Administrators (Superusers) on managing user accounts in Genbase Studio.

User Management

Genbase includes a user management system allowing administrators (Superusers) to create, view, modify, and delete user accounts directly within the Genbase Studio interface.

Permissions Required

Accessing the User Management page and performing user administration tasks requires Superuser privileges. Regular users will not see the "Users & Access" section in the navigation sidebar.

Accessing User Management

  1. Navigate: As a logged-in Superuser, click the "Users & Access" icon () in the far-left navigation sidebar.
  2. Select Users: In the Explorer panel that appears, click on "Users".
  3. View: The Main Content Area will display the User Management page, listing all registered users.

Viewing Users

The main table displays key information about each user:

  • Email: The user's login email address.
  • Status: Indicates if the account is Active (can log in) or Inactive (cannot log in).
  • Role: Shows whether the user is a regular User or a Superuser.
  • Tools: Buttons to edit or delete the user.

Creating a New User

  1. Open Dialog: Click the "Create User" button located at the top-right of the user table header.

  2. Fill Details: A dialog box will appear.

    • Enter the new user's Email address.
    • Enter a strong initial Password. The user should change this upon first login if possible (or use the password reset feature).
    • (Optional) Use the checkboxes to set the initial Active status and Superuser role. By default, users are created as Active and non-Superuser.

    Create User Dialog (Image: Screenshot of the "Create New User" dialog with fields for email, password, and checkboxes for active/superuser status.)

  3. Confirm: Click the "Create User" button in the dialog.

  4. Feedback: A notification will confirm success or failure. The user list will update automatically.

Password Security

It's recommended to use a strong, randomly generated initial password and instruct the new user to change it immediately using the Password & Security settings page after they log in.

Editing a User

Superusers can modify existing user accounts.

  1. Locate User: Find the user you want to edit in the user table.

  2. Open Dialog: Click the Edit icon () in the "Tools" column for that user.

  3. Modify Details: An "Edit User" dialog will appear. You can typically change:

    • Email: Update the user's email address.
    • New Password (Optional): Enter a new password only if you want to reset it. Leave blank to keep the current password unchanged.
    • Active Status: Use the switch/checkbox to activate or deactivate the account.
    • Superuser Role: Use the switch/checkbox to grant or revoke Superuser privileges.

    Edit User Dialog (Image: Screenshot of the "Edit User" dialog showing fields for email, optional new password, and switches/checkboxes for active/superuser status.)

  4. Save Changes: Click the "Save Changes" button.

  5. Feedback: A notification will confirm the update. The user list will refresh.

Deleting a User

Deleting a user permanently removes their account and access.

  1. Locate User: Find the user you want to delete in the table.

  2. Initiate Deletion: Click the Delete icon () in the "Tools" column.

  3. Confirm: An alert dialog will appear, warning you that the tool is irreversible. Read the warning carefully.

  4. Confirm Tool: Click the "Delete User" (or similarly labeled confirmation) button, often styled distinctively (e.g., red).

  5. Feedback: A notification will confirm the deletion. The user will be removed from the list.

Caution: Deletion

Deleting a user is permanent and cannot be undone. Ensure you are deleting the correct account. You typically cannot delete your own superuser account while logged in with it.
