Modifying accounts

If you want to substitute users or change their authentication type, it is not necessary to create and configure new Alloy Navigator Express accounts. You can modify existing accounts.

To modify a user account:

  1. Under Accounts and Roles > Accounts, double-click the account to modify. The User Account form opens.

  2. Under Account information, click Modify. The Modify Login form opens.

  3. To change the user authentication type:

    • For Windows authentication:

      1. In the Authentication Type drop-down list, select Windows.

      2. Type a Windows user account (domain or local) in the Login field.

        Alternatively, you can click the Find button to bring up the standard Windows Select User dialog box. The dialog box allows you to quickly find a domain or local user account. For example, you can choose a location to search in, enter the user name to find and click Check Names. Select a found user name in the list and click OK to close the dialog.

    • For Single Sign-On (SSO) authentication:

      1. In the Authentication Type drop-down list, select Standard or Single Sign-On.

      2. In the Username field, type in the user's email address.

      3. To enable the user to sign in with a password, select the Allow password authentication check box and then specify a password.

    • For Standard authentication:

      1. In the Authentication Type drop-down list, choose Standard or Single Sign-On.

  4. To associate the account with a different person:

    • Click the ellipsis button in the Person field and choose a new Person record you want to associate with this account.

  5. Click OK to save the changes.

  6. Click OK to close the User Account form.
