Managing Users

Users are managed through the Users tab.

Help Desk Users Tab

The Users tab displays a list of the current users on this DiveLine connection. You can manually resize most columns for readability. From this tab, you can review the following user information: 

  • Full names.
  • Group associations.
  • Project access.
  • Properties assigned to the user (version 7.1(16) and later).

    NOTE: Properties assigned to the user through a group do not appear in this column.

  • Client applications that the user is licensed to use. For more information about user licenses, see Managing Diver Platform Licenses.

NOTE: You can select multiple users using the standard Windows selection methods: Ctrl+A to select all, Ctrl+click to select non-contiguous, and Shift+click to select contiguous. This may be useful to copy and paste user information into a spreadsheet for analysis.

You can filter and sort the list of users.

Search box for Users

The search box searches for text in five columns of the users list: user, full name, groups, projects, and properties.

To filter the user list:

  1. Enter text in the Search box.

    The displayed list is filtered based on the characters entered.

  2. Double-click the user to edit.

The icon to the left of the user column describes the user type.

Admin User Icon Administrator

General User Icon General User

Disabled User Icon Disabled

DI Passport User Icon DI Staff Passport

 

NOTE: All users who are defined as DiveLine administrators in the Security/Licensing tab for each user also are granted DivePort administrator access. To change this configuration, adjust the user's access level in the DivePort's Users and Groups dialog to something other than Use Default. For more information, see DivePort Administrator Help.
