Creating users for Citeck Community

Note

Citeck supports integration with LDAP for centralized user management. Users can also be created manually via Keycloak — this method is described below.

Creating a user in Keycloak

When Installing via Docker Compose

Open the Keycloak admin console at http://localhost/ecos-idp/auth

Go to Administration Console:

../_images/User_1.png

Log in with the default credentials: admin / VeryStrongPassword:

../_images/User_2.png

In the side menu, go to the Users section:

../_images/User_3.png

Creating a User

The View all users button displays a list of all existing users. To add a new user, click Add user:

../_images/User_4.png

Fill in at least the Username field and click Save:

../_images/User_5.png

Setting a Password

Go to the Credentials tab, enter the password and confirm it.

../_images/User_6.png

Note

If the password should be temporary (the user will be required to change it on first login), set the Temporary toggle to ON.

Click Set Password and confirm the action:

../_images/User_7.png

Important

After creation, the user must log in to Citeck for the first time using their credentials. Only the Username (system name) is passed to the system — the remaining details must be filled in separately.

When Deploying Using the Cross-Platform Launcher

In the launcher, under services, select Keycloak Admin:

../_images/launcher_user_01.png

Important

After creation, the user must log in to Citeck for the first time using their credentials. Only the Username (system name) is passed to the system — the remaining details must be filled in separately.

Entering User Data in Citeck

In the administrator section, go to Users and open the created user in edit mode:

../_images/User_8.png

Fill in the required fields — Name and Email — as well as any other fields as needed:

../_images/User_9.png

Tip

To make the user’s tasks available to a manager for supervision, fill in the Line Manager field.

Adding to Groups

Click Select in the groups block and add the user to the EVERYONE and _orgstruct_home_ groups:

../_images/User_10.png

../_images/User_11.png

Click Save. The user will be granted permissions according to the selected groups.
