Users setup here can log into the LogiSense billing system and access AdminPortal screens/features of the system based on the role they are configured with. It is also possible to setup API Only users.

Edit User Panel

The information in this panel reflects the currently selected user. From here you can change user details (fields will display a red left border if a value is required and purple text if the field is read-only and cannot be modified)note: fields with a magenta left border are required).

Info

In single-sign on environments users pushed from identity providers will be listed here. Most settings for these SSO users will be read-only in LogiSense Billing. User management for these users will occur in the identity provider portal and changes to the user will be pushed to LogiSense Billing.

If a user is pushed from an identity provider without a group set on that user then the user will be assigned the ‘Read Only Core’ role in LogiSense Billing until a group is assigned in the identity provider portal.
