As a tenant’s administrator you can do the following:
- Review the Users within your tenant.
- Invite and provision people to become a User of your CafeX tenant.
- Manage an authentication provider for your tenant.
- Manage your Users’ profiles.
- Manage the integrated applications that your Users have access to.
- Manage the workspaces your Users create.
Accessing the User Management page
The User Management page is found in the Tenant settings section, which is accessible through the three-dot menu in the page header.
The User Management page can then be accessed by the Users item in the Management group.
Inviting people to your CafeX tenant
As an administrator you can provision people in the following ways:
- Invite them to your tenant.
- Configure SCIM to work alongside your identity provider.
Inviting people to your tenant
To invite people to your CafeX tenant:
- Access the User Management page.
- Click Add.
- Enter the email addresses of the people to invite to CafeX.
- Before you continue, CafeX validates the email addresses you provide.
- Click Invite.
CafeX sends an email to the addresses you provide that invites them to sign up for CafeX.
If they accept the invitation, they are then active Users of your tenant.
Provisioning Users with SCIM
System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) is a standard for transferring identity information between a domain and CafeX, automatically—see: Setting up SCIM.
CafeX role types
Users of your organization that you provision to use CafeX have one of the following roles:
Role | Description |
ADMIN | Administrators manage the CafeX account for their organization. |
STANDARD | A standard User within your organization. |
PENDING | CafeX has sent an invitation to sign up and use Cafex and they still have to accept it. When they complete sign up, CafeX allocates the STANDARD role. |
OWNER | CafeX reserves this role for future use. This is currently equivalent to ADMIN. |
DEACTIVATED | The person can no longer sign in, or use CafeX. |
PENDING DEACTIVATED | The person did not complete sign up, and can no longer sign up to CafeX. |
