If you can't find the user you're looking for, enter part of the user name in the Find: field and select Search. The table will list all users that contain your search term on the screen.
You can click on the column headers of each table to sort the users by that column. Clicking on a column header again will reverse the sort. Clicking on the column header a third time will remove the sort. Small arrows in the column header let you know which way the data is currently sorted.
We recommend that new users select Request an Account on the login screen to enter their own information. That said, you can create a new user on the Users screen, too.
•Use the Active Users Filter.
•Select to open the User Detail screen and enter the new user's information on the tabs below.

If you get a message advising you that no more Full licenses are available, then you can assign either the Reviewer or Customizer role to the new user.

oCustomizer, you cannot change the user's role without locking the software due to license issues.
oReviewer, you can only change the role to Customizer (or leave it as Reviewer).
oNeither Customizer nor Reviewer, you should not get any licensing messages, as you can change the role as needed without impacting the number of users on any license.
•when editing an inactive user (Inactive Users, Pending Users, Locked Out Users, or Deleted Users Filters), you can only assign the role of Customizer to the inactive user without locking the software due to license issues.
If you get a message advising you that no more Full licenses are available (Full licenses are those that allow you to assign any of the roles you can create on the Roles tab):
•when editing an active user (Active Users or Currently Logged in Users Filters), if the user's role is currently:
oCustomizer, you can only change the role to Reviewer (or leave it as Customizer).

Type There are two different user types in LEAD: Employee and Contractor. LEAD gathers additional data about contractors (like what contract they are working on, as well as the contact details for the person in charge of the contract) that helps the LEAD manager to determine whether they need to have continued access to LEAD. User ID Typically, the User ID follows a format of first name.last name (e.g., jane.doe), that the user enters on the login screen to login. If you operate in an environment, where Single-Sign-On (SSO) is enabled or required, then setting the User ID to the system ID (or DoD ID, if CACs are used) enables a user to login to LEAD without entering a user ID and password. If the User ID is not set to the system ID and SSO is enabled, then the user can enter their user ID and password to log in. If the User ID is not set to the system ID and SSO is required, then a LEAD administrator will need to update the user's account before they can login. SSO Text (not user editable) The SSO Text displays the Single-Sign-On (SSO) information that is used by the server to login the user automatically, if SSO has been enabled or is required and the User ID has been set to the System ID. This allows the administrator to verify that the correct information is being passed to the server. The SSO server information can be customized on the Customization > Configuration tab. First Name The First Name of the user. Last Name The Last Name of the user. The Email address of the user. Title The Title of the user. Phone The Phone number of the user. |

Figure 361: Admin > User Detail Screen - Access Information Tab Justification for Access The Justification for Access field captures the user's need to access LEAD. Role The Role selected for the user defines their primary privileges in LEAD. A user with the Customizer role assigned can ONLY make changes in the Customizations area of LEAD, they cannot make changes to any initiatives. When the Restricted Access checkbox is checked, the user will only see listed and have access to the initiatives where they are listed on the Team Members screen, either as part of the team or as the initiative owner. A restricted access user will have the privileges their role provides for them in all other areas/tabs of LEAD, meaning they can still have administer privileges for 'their' initiatives. All users with the Restricted Access checkbox checked are marked as Restricted on the Users screen after their role. To review which initiatives restricted users have been assigned to, run the Restricted Users and their Initiatives report on the Reports tab, under the Initiatives group. You can use the Default Restricted Access for New Users entry on the Customizations > Configuration tab to ensure that the restricted access checkbox is checked automatically for all new user account requests.

Default List Size The Default List Size determines the number of rows to display on screens with table lists (for example any of the screens under Resources). You can change the number of rows to display to the user's preferred value. For many wide screens, setting this value to 12 allows users to view all list entries without scrolling, and still enable them to use the page buttons to navigate between different pages, if needed. When I login, return me to where I left off When the check box for When I login, return me to where I left off is checked, LEAD will return the user to the last page/screen the user was on when they logged off. If the box is not checked, on login, the user will go to the Home > Dashboard screen. |
The actions that you can perform on a user depend on which Filter you are using to view the list of users. Here's what you can do by Filter: •Active Users oCreate New users (using ). oInactivate users - inactive users can no longer login and don't count towards the number of users on your license. If you make a currently logged in user inactive, they will be automatically logged out within a minute or two. •Pending Users oAccept new users created from the Login screen (select Accept that shows when you edit the pending user). oReject new users created from the Login screen (select Reject that shows when you edit the pending user). •Inactive Users oActivate a disabled or inactive user - users are automatically disabled, if they haven't logged in for a certain number of days set by the system administrator. oDelete a user (select Delete in the Delete column). Depending on the Deleted Users Can Be Restored setting on the Customization > Configuration screen, this may remove (delete) the user from the database, or it may mark the user as deleted, meaning they will be listed on the Deleted Users list. If you make a currently logged in user inactive and then delete them, they will be automatically logged out within a minute or two. •Locked-Out Users (from entering their password incorrectly one too many times). oActivate a locked-out user (select Activate). •Deleted Users (lists users marked as deleted, if you do not see this option, then deleted users cannot be restored or activated). oActivate a deleted user. •Currently Logged in Users (no additional actions available, other than what is in the Actions column) |
If you have edit rights for users (either in general, or for your department), then you can reset the password for other users from this screen. Just select View after selecting the user, scroll to the bottom of the screen, and select Reset Password. This will reset the user's password and send them an email with a temporary password. They can then use the temporary password to regain access to LEAD (though they will have to change the temporary password to a new password once they log in). |
No The number (No) column provides a sequential count of the entries, which is not attached to the entries themselves. Name The Name column lists the user name: last name, first name. Department(s) The Department column shows the department that the user has been given a role for. Role The Role column shows the role that the user has been assigned. Users with restricted access show Restricted after their role. |
