    You can return to the previous screen by clicking the Previous button or cancel your changes by clicking the Cancel button.

  9. Click Finish.

You can now view the new user’s details on the User Management screen. aPriori automation will also automatically assign an aPriori license to the added user based on the user’s assigned role if an available license of the appropriate license type exists.

Updating Users

Note: You must be a user administrator (APRIORI_USER_ADMIN) to update users.

Important: A user administrator cannot update their own enablements. Instead, another user administrator must make the required changes. However a user administrator can update their own profile details, as described below.

To update an existing user:

  1. Access the User Management screen (see Accessing the Self-Service User Management Interface).

  2. Use the search bar to find the user you want to update.

  3. In the Actions column, click the three dots.

  4. Select Edit.

  5. In the Edit User Details pop-up window, click inside the User Role box.

  6. If required, select a new customer-assigned role for the user from the drop-down list. To help you make your selection, the applications and capabilities of each role are displayed under the name of each role. For details, see Customer-Assigned User Roles.

  7. If required, select Additional Properties for the user. The options available are dependent on the User Role selected. For details, see Optional Roles.

  8. If required, select Deployments for the user. The options available are dependent on the User Role selected. For details, see Optional Roles.

  9. Click Next.

  10. If required, update the user’s profile. Note that you cannot update the required (*) fields. For details, see Adding Users.

    You can return to the previous screen by clicking the Previous button or cancel your changes by clicking the Cancel button.

  11. Click Finish.

You can now view the updated details on the User Management screen.

Deleting Users

Note: You must be a user administrator (APRIORI_USER_ADMIN) to delete users.

Caution: You cannot undo deleting a user. Note also that this is a ‘soft-delete’ operation as some data must be retained to meet audit and compliance requirements.

To delete a user:

  1. Access the User Management screen (see Accessing the Self-Service User Management Interface).

  2. Use the search bar to find the user you want to delete.

  3. In the Actions column, click the three dots.

  4. Select Delete.

  5. A Confirm pop-up window appears, informing you that the action cannot be undone and asking if you are sure you want to proceed. If you are sure you want to delete the user, click Yes. Otherwise, click No.

If you clicked Yes, the user is marked as Inactive. They will no longer be able to log in to aPriori applications.
