User administration (AER 2.27)¶
Add a user¶
New users can navigate to your local Anaconda Repository web page and sign themselves up for an account, or the administrator can add them using the command line:
anaconda-server-create-user --username "jsmith" --password "abc123DEF" --email "jsmith@acme.com"
NOTE: Replace jsmith, abc123DEF, and jsmith@acme.com with the actual username, password, and email address of the new user.
Remove a user¶
- Log into your Anaconda repository administrative account.
- Navigate to the following url:
http://your.anaconda.repository:<port>/admin/report
- Choose “Accounts”.
- Select the username of the user you wish to remove.
- Choose “Delete user”.
Resending welcome emails to new users¶
To send emails Anaconda Repository must have the email settings configured.
If a user reports that they did not receive their welcome email after registering on your local Anaconda Repository web page, it may have been caught in a spam filter. An administrator can regenerate and manually send this email.
Resend welcome email:
- Log into your Anaconda repository administrative account.
- Navigate to the following url:
http://your.anaconda.repository:<port>/admin/resend_email/password_reset
- Click the “Confirmation” tab.
- Enter the user’s email address and re-generate the email template.
- Send the email to the user.
Resetting user passwords¶
If a user forgets their password, an administrator can request a reset link to provide to the user.
To send emails Anaconda Repository must have the email settings configured.
- Go to the following url:
http://your.anaconda.repository:<port>/admin/resend_email/password_reset
- Select the “Password Reset” tab.
- Enter the user’s email address.
- The graphical user interface will generate a password reset link.
- Email the link to the user.
Administrators can also reset passwords without sending emails:
anaconda-server-admin reset-password jsmith
NOTE: Replace “jsmith” with the username whose password you want to reset.
Changing a user’s storage size or changing their plan to free unlimited¶
At [your repo]/admin/report choose “Accounts”, then the username, then “Update Storage” or “Set free unlimited plan”
- Log into your Anaconda repository administrative account.
- Navigate to the following url:
http://your.anaconda.repository:<port>/admin/report
- Choose “Accounts”.
- Select the username of the user whose account you wish to change.
- To update the storage limits choose “Update Storage”.
- To set the user’s plan to free and unlimited choose “Set free unlimited plan”.
