Adding Users

Overview

The application owner can add new users with "Role" as User or Developer. A "User" is a person who can access the application or specific forms/views in the application shared to him, based on the access permissions provided. He cannot create/edit applications in the owner/admin's workspace. A user who is configured as a "Developer" can create and access the applications in admin's workspace, if the admin provides edit permissions for the same. A "Workspace" refers to the common space provided to a set of users to facilitate complete management of the applications and work as a cohesive unit.

The application owner/admin can add new users from the Account Settings dialog or directly from the Share tab of a specific application or by Adding Deluge Script.

Adding users from the Account Settings dialog

The Account Settings dialog can be invoked by selecting the Account Settings link displayed in the top-right corner of your Home page or by selecting the Go to -> Account Settings link displayed in the top-right corner when you edit your application. The screen-shot of the same is displayed below:

1. Select the Manage Users tab in the Account Settings dialog. You can add new users, delete existing users, activate or deactivate users from the Manage Users tab.
2. Click 'Add New User' > specify e-mail ids > click 'Add'. By default, a user will be added as 'Active' with role as 'User'. You can share your application only with users whose status is 'Active'. The number of users you can add depends on your subscription plan.

Adding users from the Share tab

To add users from the "Share" tab,

1. Select the Application name or Page header or the Form/View displayed on the left-side. For example, selecting the application name will enable access to all the Forms and Views in the application.
2. Click on Share to users. This will display the Share dialog where you can enter new e-mail ids or share your application with existing user e-mail ids by selecting Add From Contacts link.
3. Select the "Role" as User or Developer.
4. Click Share to add the users at the selected level.

Adding users dynamically by writing Deluge Script

The Share/UnShare Deluge task can be used in form/field action scripts to dynamically share or unshare an email address to your application, page, form or view, without going into the edit mode of the application. This feature enables the owner of an application to define roles like "HR Manager", "Employee" etc and add logic to share the forms/views with users, based on the roles assigned. To share your application dynamically using Deluge Scripting, refer Deluge Reference -> Sharing
