Verifying Users (Maintaining their system access)

What is "Verifying"?

In order to maintain the security of the system, a system policy requires that users be "verified" every 3 months to ensure they still require access to the system. This is an additional measure to ensure unauthorised access is prevented. During the user setup process, there is a mandatory field to choose who will verify that user moving forwards. The options in this dropdown depend on who has been setup as a "verifier" of other users, as per the image below.

Any user setup to "Verify Other User Accounts" can verify any user on the system - not just those they are responsible for. This prevents users getting locked out at an inconvenient time such as when their manager is on annual leave.

Verifying users can be done via the "My Users" page for seeing all your users to verify in a single convenient place. 

To verify users via the "My Users" page, follow the below steps:

1. Click Settings
2. Click My Users
3. Find the user(s) you'd like to verify and click verify

Did you know: The background of users who are locked out of the system due to not being verified, is displayed in a light pink colour.

Note: You can also access the "My Users" page for other verifiers - useful for when they are out of the office. To do this:

1. Click Settings
2. Click Users
3. Click "Edit" against the verifier user that you would like to verify the users of
4. Click "Verify their users"
5. Verify whichever users as required

Resetting User Passwords

Should a user forget their password, or enter an incorrect password too many times, you can reset their password for them by following the below steps:

1. Click Settings
2. Click Users
3. Click "Edit" on the user requiring a reset
4. Click the "Reset Password" icon (see below). A prompt will appear asking you to confirm the reset request is a genuine one. 

Changing who manages / verifies users on the system

Should a user who normally verifies other users be unavailable permanently, you can transfer all users assigned to that verifier to someone else. To do this follow the below steps:

1. Click Settings
2. Click Users
3. Click "Edit" against the verifier user that you would like to transfer the the users of
4. Click the "Migrate Users" button (see below). A prompt will appear asking you to choose and save the new verifier for the applicable users.
