Admin:Add User
Access to testwork and models is restricted to authenticated users.
There are four ways to create a user profile:
- an administrator creates a profile for a user and then send the credentials to the user,
- an administrator enters an email address and the website sends an invitation email to register,
- a URL to a registration page sent to a new user via regular email, or
- a user can click the 'Register' link at the top of the website home page
After a user's profile has been created and approved by an administrator, all of the projects in your database will visible with "read-only" level access. An administrator must then go into each applicable project's settings and configure the user's access level to "read-write" in order for the user to add data and make changes to that project.
Individual users can also be set to "no access" to an individual project to prevent viewing that project's data.

User generated profile
When a non-authenticated user browses the sagmilling.com website, there is a 'register' button in the top-right corner of the web page. The user can click on this button and fill in a form with their details which is then forwarded to the administrator for approval.
In order for the webserver to know which administrator to send the new user request to, a Client ID number must be entered as part of the profile. This ID identifies the user as belonging to your group. Your Client ID appears at the top of the list on the page after you click the 'Administration' button.
