How to manually activate an user account

Added by Deleted user about 7 years ago

Hello,

By default, when the administrator creates a user account, its status is “invited” and an activation mail is sent to the user (thats when self-registration is disabled). How can the administrator manually activate an account please?

There is a self-registration mode called “manual account activation” but that doesn’t look to add a button/link to activate an account.

Here is a link to the “documentation” : https://www.openproject.org/help/system-settings/authentication-settings/

Thank you in advance for your help

Hi Phillippe,

when using internal authentication: Either edit the user and assign a password, or choose the ‘Assign random password (sent to user via email)’ option to activate the user manually.

when using LDAP or SSO configuration: There are options to allow on-the-fly registration of users when OpenProject first sees them. Check them to allow users to auto register.

Best,
Oliver

Thank you,

Great for the internal authentication. And for LDAP, I have to wait for the user to connect first.

It would be great to auto activate the user at the creation by the administrator.

I know it is cumbersome, but you could always setup a user internally, activate them, and then switch their login to an LDAP Authenticated option.
