Create a User

  1. Go to Users.

  2. Select + (Create).

  3. Enter the required user credentials.

Create user and assign roles.

You can choose not to Invite user immediately by turning off the toggle at the end of the page. By default, newly created users get an invitation email.

If you turn off this toggle, you need to invite users manually using the Invite user option.

After Creating a User

  1. Picturepark sends an invitation to the email when the immediate invitation is enabled.

  2. Picturepark opens the details to assign a role. Without a role assigned, the user cannot access any content other than their own profile.

Update and Assign User Roles

The most common case is to assign a role for one user to access the content in Picturepark. 

  1. Open the User Browser.

  2. Find your user by filtering for invited.

  3. Open the Details.

  4. Assign a Role.

You can also batch assign user roles to multiple users. 

  1. Open the User Browser.

  2. Find your user by filtering for invited or searching for something. 

  3. Select the Assign roles batch operation. 

    1. You see the number of users affected in the upper text of the window. 

  4. The dialog shows the user roles in Picturepark. 

    1. You can choose whether to add (default action), remove, or overwrite (set) user roles. 

    2. Select the roles.

    3. Save.

*remove only removes the role if the role is assigned.

Update and Assign an Identity Provider

Users in Picturepark will have the Picturepark IDS configured as the default identity provider. You must change the Identity Provider after setting up federated authentication.  

  1. Open the User Browser.

  2. Find the user via search or filter criteria.

  3. Open the Details.

  4. Edit.

  5. Update Identity Provider.

  6. Save.

There is currently no batch operation in the UI for updating the Identity Provider. However, you can use Postman and update via API:  

  1. Search Users: https://demo.picturepark.com/Docs/Rest/index.html#operation/User_Search

  2. Update Identity Provider for provided user IDs https://demo.picturepark.com/Docs/Rest/index.html#operation/User_UpdateIdentityProviderMany

Update a Single User

  1. Open Users.

  2. Open Details of one User.

  3. Update.

  4. Save.

You can only update user details for users not authenticated via a third-party identity provider, such as users in Picturepark, not users linked to the company active directory. For these users (federated users), you have to change the Identity Provider first.
