ServSwitch iPATH

4.8 The Users Tab

The Users tab shows a paginated table of all users within the ServSwitch iPATH network. Within the list, the admin user is always present and cannot be deleted - to avoid being locked out of the ServSwitch iPATH system. The username and name details of the admin account, however, can be edited as required.

Click the USERS tab to view the initial View Users page.

The other user pages (e.g. Add User, View User Groups, etc.) are selectable within the blue section located just below the tabs.

4.8.1 Search Filters

The key fields (Name, Description and Location) all provide a search filter to locate particular items within long lists. Enter a full or partial search string into the appropriate filter box and then click to start the search.

Optionally use the buttons to invert the order of the listing.

The page will reload with the same pagination/sort order, but with the added search filter. It’s possible to filter

by several columns at once (e.g. search for all entries with “B” in the Username, and “Smith” in the Last Name). Search terms are case-insensitive. You can re-sort and paginate on filtered results without losing the filters.

To remove a filter, click the red cross next to the relevant filter (you can also empty the search box and click again).

4.8.2 Users > View Users Page

The table shows the following information for each user:

• AD - indicates whether the user was imported from Active Directory

• Username

• First Name

• Last Name

User Groups - the number of user groups to which the user belongs

Channels - the number of channels to which the user has access

Receivers - the number of receivers to which the user has access
