Lesson 7: Creating Users and Claims

Users

When we have a look at the hierarchy of users in M.App Enterprise (see following screenshot) - the users spoken of here are at the part called Apps, which means the M.App Enterprise Studio Administrator is creating one or more users and assign the users to specific applications. This can be done under Security -> Users. In this section of the M.App Enterprise Studio new users and existing ones can be edited.

Hierarchy of Users in M.App Enterprise
💡
Since M.App Enterprise 2023 Update 2 there is the possibility to hide the email address at the Apps page and additionally in the App itself. 
⚠️
The most important field in the user creation form is the email adress. To this specified value an activation link is sent, where the user can finish setting up his user account.
⚠️
The email server must be defined during the installation process. At this process you also have the possibility to send out a test email.

If you don't want to re-run the setup, because you have no imminent update to do on the server or you just forgot to put in the credentials for your mail server you still have the possibility to change the web.config manually. These changes happens on your own responsibility.

Here is an example of the mailSettings for using Gmail.
