Partek ^® Flow ^® supports multiple user accounts, allowing you to keep your Partek Flow server secure and organized. This also facilitates data sharing and collaboration on projects. Administrative users have access to all parts of the software including server configuration, whereas non-administrative users only have access to the features necessary for data analysis. The first Partek Flow user account is created during installation, which is always an administrative user account.

...

To access the User Management page, click the avatar in the top right corner, choose Settings and click User management on the left (Figure 1). This page can be accessed by administrative Partek Flow users only. 

The number of available Partek Flow user licenses is displayed at the top of the User management page. This shows the number of user accounts that can be enabled. Administrative user accounts will not consume licenses, unless they become a member of any project, in which case they will consume a Partek Flow user licence. Please contact your account manager or email licensing@partek.com if you wish to increase the number of user licenses on your Partek Flow instance. If all available user licenses have been consumed, you will have to disable a user account before adding a new user. Disabled user accounts are easily re-enabled. 

...

By clicking on the Send message button (), the administrative user can send an e-mail notification about account creation. The dialog depends on the user database; an e-mail to a user who is not within an LDAP database (vide infra) is shown in Figure 2, while an e-mail to a user who is within an LDAP can be seen in Figure 3. 

 If multiple Partek Flow users are logged into an instance at the same time, administrative users have the ability to log them out by clicking the Log out user icon () (Figure 1). If a user is logged out by an administrator and the user has tasks running or in the queue, those tasks will continue to run.

...

The new user account will be active immediately. The new user can log into the Partek Flow instance using the same username and password as their email account. Please note, the new user will not be able to manage their username and password settings from within Partek Flow, as this is determined by the LDAP server.

Disabling a Partek Flow user account

...

 If a user tries to log into the Partek Flow instance and their account has been disabled, they will see a warning message (Figure 8).

...

...

 Users that have had their account disabled will no longer appear as a member of a project on the Home page. Under the Project settings tab of a project, their username and avatar will still be shown, but with a strikethrough (Figure 9).

...

 To display disabled user accounts, select the Disabled check box above the table (Figure 10). Disabled accounts can be easily re-enabled by selecting the check box in the Enabled column (Figure 8).
