The User section is used for User Administration, which includes the review, adding, and editing users that are intended to have access to the WebLink device. Each user must have a user id and a password. (Passwords may optionally be zero length, meaning that a password does not have to be a required field). The default is to a require a password, however. Each user is added with a specific Role, which will indicate which areas of the WebLink features that user will be able to access. Users with the "Administrator" role automatically have full access to the entire system. See the Roles option in the next section for more information on the setup of Roles.

To add a new user, click on the "New" button. You may edit an existing user by clicking on the given user name. When adding a new user, you will specify a "username" or user id field. This field must be unique, and is not changeable once a user is created. Other information for the user can be changed at anytime, including First Name, Last Name, email address, device, and roles. The device is the default device that this user is allowed to control. Typically, this device is used in conjunction with MyLights and the MyLights Desktop Override. When the user logs in, the device selected will be available for control from the main page. Roles include:: Administration, Manual Override, My Lights, My Lights - On Only, My Lights Full, Schedule View, Scheduler, System, and System View.

Finally, from the Edit User screen, you may change the users password, by filling in a New Password.
