User Management

Overview

This article describes how to manage users in Magpie. This includes creating, dropping, and disabling users. To better understand granting and revoking user permissions to objects in Magpie, it is helpful to visit user roles.

Note: Creating, Dropping, and Disabling users is restricted to organization admins. Admins have all permissions on all objects within the organization.

Create User

The following is an example of creating a user. Details about the create user command can be found here.

create user {
  "userName": "new_team_member@silect.is"
};

Once a user is created, we need to invoke the Password Reset command to trigger a password reset email to the user. This email contains a custom URL where that user's password can be reset. This command can be run by an organization admin.

alter user new_team_member@silect.is reset password;

The user can also invoke this process through the Magpie home page by following the instructions under the "First Time User" section.

Disable/Enable User

Users in Magpie can be disabled, which prevents the user from logging in without deleting their account and permissions.

The following is an example of disabling a user. Details about the disable user command can be found here.

disable user new_team_member@silect.is

After being disabled, a user can be re-enabled at any time through the Enable User command.

enable user new_team_member@silect.is

Drop User

The following is an example of dropping a user. Details about the drop user command can be found here.

drop user if exists new_team_member@silect.is

Dropping a user permanently deletes reference to the user in Magpie.
