User administration (AER 2.24)

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.

Resending welcome emails to new users

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:

  1. Log into your Anaconda repository administrative account.
  2. Navigate to the following url: http://your.anaconda.repository:<port>/admin/resend_email/password_reset
  3. Click the “Confirmation” tab.
  4. Enter the user’s email address and re-generate the email template.
  5. 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.

  1. Go to the following url: http://your.anaconda.repository:<port>/admin/resend_email/password_reset
  2. Select the “Password Reset” tab.
  3. Enter the user’s email address.
  4. The graphical user interface will generate a password reset link.
  5. Email the link to the user.
