Partek Flow users can be organized into groups. For example, user accounts can be organized by research group, privilege level (e.g. administrative vs non-administrative) or by pre-defined groups determined by a database. This enables easier among multiple Partek Flow users and makes it easier to define for groups of users. For editions, administrative users can generate usage report per group and reserve a number of concurrent licenses for groups.
To access the User Management page, click the avatar in the top right corner, choose Settings and click User management on the left (Figure 1). This page can be accessed by administrative and non-administrative Partek Flow users.
Owner – choose the owner of the group from the drop-down list of Partek Flow users. Alternatively, start typing a few characters of the users’ display name and Partek Flow will suggest users that are available for you to choose.
Source is … – this checkbox is only available to administrative users. Select this check box if you want to create a group based on the configured LDAP database. Leaving this checkbox unselected means the group will be created and managed entirely within Partek Flow.
Group name – if the source is an LDAP database, start typing a few characters of the group name and Partek Flow will suggest available groups for you to choose. If the group is managed entirely within Partek Flow, simply type the name of the new group.
Display name – only visible if the source is an LDAP database. If you want the LDAP group name to appear differently in Partek Flow, type in an alternative name. If you want the LDAP group name to appear the same in Partek Flow, leave this field blank.
Both administrative and non-administrative users can create groups. Partek Flow user accounts must exist before they can be organised into groups. See for information on how to create user accounts. To create a new group, click on the green Add new group button on the Group Management Page (Figure 1), complete the Add new group dialog (Figure 2) and click Save.
Group members – if the source is an LDAP database, members that are also Partek Flow users will be listed as group members in the dialog. Not all LDAP group members will be listed, just those that have Partek Flow user accounts. If the group is being managed entirely within Partek Flow, choose the group members from the drop-down list of Partek Flow users and select the green plus icon (). Alternatively, start typing a few characters of the users’ display name and Partek Flow will suggest users that are available for you to choose. To remove a group member, select the red cross icon ().
The new group can be further managed by the group owner or an administrative user. Group membership and other details can be edited by selecting the yellow pencil icon () in the table on the Group Management page (Figure 1). A group picture can be uploaded by selecting the image icon (). A group can be deleted by selecting the red cross icon ().
