Select New User at the top of the Security Manager page, or select an existing user, to create or change user details, including roles.
When a new user account is created, Order Management automatically generates a unique password. An email is then sent to the new user to request a password reset. The Administrator can delay sending the password reset email notification, if desired by selecting the Suppress Change Password Email checkbox. This process can be useful when creating a large volume of new user accounts at one time. Later, the Administrator invokes the email notification for the user to reset the password by selecting the Send Password Reset Email button.
The following table describes the fields and buttons on the Edit User page. Fields with an asterisk (*) are required.
Fields and Buttons | Description |
---|---|
*User Type dropdown |
A dropdown list of the types of user including service account or user account. A service account is used by automations and integrations. Note: The Order Management API
requires that all client applications identify themselves using
a Service user account with a token. For the Service user
account, click Generate Token at the bottom of the UI
page to generate a token.

*First Name |
The first name of the user. |
*Last Name |
The last name of the user. |
*Username |
The username for the user, such as public, power user, or admin. |
*Password and Re-enter Password |
An automatically generated password is created once the user account is created. To change a password, enter it in the Password field and then confirm the password by entering it again in the Re-enter Password field. Note: The password
policies are set to Salesforce minimums for all new user accounts, and
for existing user accounts where the policy has not been set. An Administrator
can also set a minimum password policy requirement by following the PCI rules.

Locale dropdown |
Identifies the Locale associated with the user. Use the Locale dropdown list to select a different locale (from the pre-defined list of locales) to which the user is associated. Note: If the user role doesn't specify
a Locale, the default is English. If the user role specifies a
Locale other than English, French, or German, then English is
the Locale. See Localization.

Time Zone dropdown |
Identifies the time zone associated with the user’s Locale. Use the Time Zone dropdown list to select a different time zone for the user. |
Account is locked out checkbox |
Prevents the user from logging in. Accounts are automatically locked after six failed login attempts. You can lock an account when you want to perform checks or tasks before allowing the user to log in. Unchecking this box unlocks a locked account. |
Active checkbox |
Lets site administrators mark disabled accounts as Active. Note: As part of the enhanced password PCI and
Salesforce password security requirements, inactive users for at
least 90 are disabled.
|
Assign Roles To User checkboxes |
Assign roles to the user. User roles determine which modules are accessible. A single user can be
assigned to many roles. That user can access the permission sets defined by the
sum of all the roles assigned.
Note: The Administrator checkbox is only enabled if
you are not managing accounts through Account Manager.

View Effective Permissions link |
Shows a list of effective permissions for that user. See Security Roles Manager for details on permissions for each role. |
Report Author Information box |
Shows the Report Author information (if the role was selected for that user) including the Report Author username and the Sync date. The Report Author username is automatically generated once the Administrator assigns the Report Author role to a user account. The Report Author username is required to create reports in the reporting database. The Sync date refers to the date when the Report Author account was synchronized between Order Management and the Reporting database. |
Update button |
Updates the system with the new user account information. If all changes were accepted, the message “User updated successfully” appears. |
