Partek Flow supports multiple user accounts, allowing you to keep your Partek Flow server secure and organized. This also facilitates on projects. Administrative users have access to all parts of the software including server configuration, whereas non-administrative users only have access to the features necessary for data analysis. The first Partek Flow user account is created during , which is always an administrative user account.

Please note that Partek Flow users do not correspond to Linux or Mac users. A Partek Flow administrative account is not the same as a Linux ‘root’ user (see ). All user accounts created in Partek Flow are internal to the Partek Flow server .

User management page

To access the User Management page, click the avatar in the top right corner, choose Settings and click Users in the Access section on the left (Figure 1). This page can be accessed by administrative Partek Flow users only.

The table on the User management page displays user account information and status, with one user account per row. By default, the table will display all enabled users accounts that are online and offline. To change which users are displayed, select or deselect the checkboxes above the table (Figure 1).

By clicking on the Send message button at Actions column, the administrative user can send an e-mail notification about account creation (Figure 2). The email template depends on the user database, i.e., within an LDAP or not within an LDAP database (vide infra).

If multiple Partek Flow users are logged into an instance at the same time, administrative users have the ability to log them out by clicking the Log out user button at Actions column. If a user is logged out by an administrator and the user has tasks running or in the queue, those tasks will continue to run.

Creating a new Partek Flow user account using an LDAP database

  1. Click the + Add new user at the top of the User management page

  2. Select a Source for LDAP database from the drop down list in the Add user dialog (Figure 3)

  3. Start typing a few characters of the username you wish to add in the Username box and Partek Flow will suggest users that are available on your LDAP database. Select one of the suggested usernames and the Username, Display name and Email will autocomplete. You can change the Display name if necessary

  4. There may be more than one email address associated with a user in the LDAP database, so choose the correct one from the Email drop-down list

  5. To give the new user account administrative privileges, select the Administrator checkbox (optional)

  6. Click Save

The new user account will be active immediately. The new user can log into the Partek Flow instance using the same username and password as their email account. Please note, the new user will not be able to manage their username and password settings from within Partek Flow, as this is determined by the LDAP server.

Creating a new Partek Flow user account without using an LDAP database

  1. Click the + Add new user at the top of the User management page

  2. Select Source in the Add user dialog

  3. Type a username, display name and email address in the respective fields

  4. To give the new user account administrative privileges, select the Administrator checkbox (optional)
