Users
In order for a person to log into the Uniform Dashboard, the person must have a user account.
info
Only team admins can create, edit and delete roles.
About users#
Team admin#
Team admins have elevated permissions that allow them to manage all aspects of the team. Only team admins can:
- Modify team settings and configuration
- Create and delete projects
- Invite and remove team members
- Create and manage roles
- Generate and manage API keys
- Install and manage custom integrations
info
Team admin status is assigned when creating a user or can be updated by editing an existing user.
Common tasks#
Create user#
You create a new user by inviting the person to Uniform.
In Uniform, navigate to Security > Users.
Click Invite member.
Enter the user's name and email address.
If you want the user to be an administrator, tick the box Team Admin.
In the section Assign projects & roles, find the project you want the user to have access to.
Select the roles you want to assign.
info
You can assign multiple roles, permissions within the roles are additive for the user.
Click Send Invitation.
In the section Outstanding Invitations, you will see the user you invited.
About this step
An email is sent to the user. When the user clicks the link in the email, if they aren't already logged in, they're invited to login or create an account. After they do this, they're asked if they want to join the team. If they join the team, they will have the access you specified.
tip
If you decide you don't want the user to have access to your team, you can click Revoke to invalidate the invitation, preventing the user from accepting the invitation and gaining access to your Uniform team. If the user has already joined the team, you can delete the user.
Delete user#
Deleting a user enables you to remove the user from your Uniform team. This doesn't delete the user from Uniform entirely.
- In Uniform, navigate to Security > Users.
- Click the name of the user you want to delete.
- Click delete.
- Click OK.
Update user#
Editing a user enables you to change the projects and permissions for the user.
- In Uniform, navigate to Security > Users.
- Click the name of the user you want to edit.
- In the Assign projects & roles section:
- To add access to a project, find the project and select one or more roles from the dropdown.
- To change roles on a project, use the dropdown to select or deselect roles.
- To remove access from a project, click the x next to each assigned role.
- Click Save.
tip
You can assign multiple roles to a user. When roles have conflicting permissions, the permission is allowed. See combining roles for details.
Enable single sign-on#
Users can log into Uniform using their email address, or their Google or GitHub credentials. If your organization uses another service for single sign-on (e.g. Auth0, Microsoft Entra ID/Azure Active Directory, etc.), see SSO integration for details.
