Users

A user represents an individual with access to all cases that belongs to the same institute(s) that the user does. From the main menu in scout one can access a users page that displays all existing users in the scout instance and ranks them based on how many actions they have performed.

Create a user

Users are created through the CLI with command scout load user. Please see the --help argument for more information. Email is used as user identification. A user can be admin which means that they have access to all institutes in the instance.

Example:

>scout load user --user-mail john@doe.com --admin --institute-id cust000 --user-name "John Doe"

A user can also have access to multiple institutes without being admin.

Example:

>scout load user -m john@doe.com -i cust000 -i cust001 -u "John Doe"

Delete a user

Users can be deleted from the CLI.

Example:

>scout delete user --mail john@doe.com

Update a user

It is possible to update existing users from the command line. It is possible to add or remove admin rights and to add or remove access to institutes.
