.. _Updating your preferences:

|
|
Updating your preferences
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
Some of the properties of your `User <model-res.user>` account can be viewed
|
|
and updated by opening up your preferences.
|
|
|
|
How you open your preferences depends on which client you are using, but it is
|
|
often done from either a menu item called preferences, or a link somewhere in
|
|
the header with your username.
|
|
|
|
With your preferences open you are able to update things like your name, email
|
|
address, language, signature and password.
|

|

.. _Connecting user applications:

|
|
|
Connecting user applications
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
Tryton `User Applications <topics-user_application>` are intended to be simple
|
|
applications that have been written to do one thing well.
|
|
|
|
When you configure the user application it connects to Tryton and requests a
|
|
new key.
|
|
This new key is stored in the associated `User's list of Applications
|
|
<model-res.user.application>`.
|
|
|
|
To allow the user application to access and use Tryton you must
|
|
:guilabel:`Validate` the key from inside `your preferences <Updating your
|
|
preferences>`.
|
|
Once this is done the user application can perform it's predefined actions on
|
|
your behalf.
|
|
|
|
.. tip::
|
|
|
|
If you are concerned a key may have been compromised, you can easily
|
|
revoke a user application's access, at any time, by deleting its key
|
|
from your user preferences.
|
|
|
|
.. _Managing user's access rights:
|
|
|
|
Managing users access rights
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
In Tryton `Groups <model-res.group>` help you manage and control what `Access
|
|
Rights <topics-access_rights>` a `User <model-res.user>` has.
|
|
|
|
By adding and removing users from groups you can control what parts of Tryton a
|
|
user can access, and what they can see and do.
|
|
You can find the users and groups under the
|
|
[:menuselection:`Administration --> Users`] main menu item.
|
|
|
|
If you want to see and change which users are in a group, then it is normally
|
|
best to open the group to view it's members.
|
|
|
|
If you are interested in seeing and updating which groups a single user belongs
|
|
to, then it is often best to open the user account and then find their access
|
|
permissions and groups.
|
|
|
|
.. tip::
|
|
|
|
Many modules define standard groups that are useful to people who have
|
|
activated that module.
|
|
Often you only need to add the correct users to these groups to benefit from
|
|
them.
|
|
|
|
.. _Resetting users passwords:
|
|
|
|
Resetting users passwords
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
If a user has forgotten their password, or you are creating a new user and want
|
|
them to set their password themselves, Tryton can send them a temporary
|
|
password.
|
|
On the User screen there is a :guilabel:`Reset Password` button which will send
|
|
them an `Email Reset Password <report-res.user.email_reset_password>` email to
|
|
their email address.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
This is only available if the email address for the user is set.
|
|
|
|
The user can then login with this temporary password and update their password
|
|
to one of their choosing.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
The temporary password is only valid for a set amount of time, so the user
|
|
must login and change their password before the temporary password expires.
