You can disable the immediate invitation of the user with the checkbox at the bottom. By default, newly created users get an invitation email.

When disabling immediate invitation users must be invited afterward manually with the invite button.

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 search for something. 

  3. Select batch operation "Assign roles" 

    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 you want 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 as the default identity provider configured. 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. Therefore 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 Single User

  1. Open Users

  2. Open Details of one User

  3. Update

  4. Save

You can only update user details for users that are not authenticated via a 3rd party identity provider, e.g. users in Picturepark, not users that are linked to the company active directory. For these users (federated users) you have to change the Identity Provider first.
