Users

The Users page in the Admin section of Signotaur allows administrators to manage user accounts, including creating, editing, deleting, and assigning certificates.

Users admin page

A sortable, filterable table displays all users, and can be searched by username, email, or display name.

Adding a New User

To add a new user, click the Create new user button. A dialog will appear where you can enter the following details:

  • Username
  • Display name
  • Email address
  • Administrator: Check this option to grant the user full access to all pages in the Admin section and all registered certificates.

Add new user dialog

After clicking Create, the user will be created with a temporary password. If an email service is configured, the username and temporary password will be sent to the specified email address, along with a link to verify the email address. The temporary password will also be displayed for manual sharing.

Note: The new user must log in and change their password within 12 hours to prevent expiration of the temporary password.
