User Management

The User Management feature allows for the creation of accesses and management of users in the Portal. When a Portal access is created, one or more Owners of the Portal are added to the user list, receiving an activation email. From then on, those users are enabled to create same or lower-tier user roles and thus manage access to the Portal, as well as delegate any of the tasks that come with it, including the management of other users.

Only the Owner, Admin, and LangOps roles have access to the User Management app.

Managing users

Where entering the User Management section you will be presented with the current active users list:

The users are listed with their full name, email address and current role. Clicking on any user will show the user details.

It's possible to search for specific users, either by name or email. Typing the search value will restrict the user list to the ones matching the search criteria partially. You can also filter the list by user role.

It's possible for a Customer Portal user with Owner role to edit the user first and last names, and change their role. Changing the email is not possible: it acts as a username and is immutable. If any mistakes are made, the user should be deactivated and added with the correct address. Don't forget to save any changes by clicking the appropriate button.

Deactivating a user

If you wish to deactivate a user, hover over the user entry to find an red icon at the end of it. Click it and confirm the action to deactivate the user. Deactivated users are excluded from the users list and lose access to the portal.

Inviting new users

It's possible for an authorized user to invite users and set their role provided their own role grants that privilege. Invited users that have not yet completed the activation of the account will be listed under the Invited tab.

You can create users in two steps:

1 - Head to the User Management app by selecting it from the left panel.

2 -  Click on the New users button

3 - Select the role of the users you are about to create. Click the field to expose the drop-down list, make your selection and click Next.

4 - Add the first and last names, and the email of the users. Add as many users as necessary.

All added users will receive an activation email and need to complete the process before accessing the Portal. At that time, they will move from the Invited to the Users tab.

I can't add a specific user to the Portal - what can I do?

If you see a message reading "Could not create X since this email is already being used by another account.", it's likely the user has existed before but has been deactivated. Don't worry. We can help you adding the user back to the Portal, but you will need to make that request reach us at customer.happiness@unbabel.com or fill in the support form.

Another reason for this to happen is if the user is part of a different Portal. This may happen if the same person needs access to both an in-house operation and the BPO's portal, for example. In this case, you will also need to reach out to us in order to enable access.
