Access User Management
The User Management feature can only be accessed by users that have admin privileges. Admin privileges are set up for your specified users during the PyraCloud onboarding process.
In order to access User Management click on “Setup” > “User Management” as shown below:

Browse User List
The User Management main page shows a complete list of PyraCloud users. The following user information is displayed:
- Username
- Last Login Date
- User Type
Click on “View” in the “Actions” column to view summary information for that user (see details in Review & Edit User).

Search for a User
Use the search field to search for a specific user. Simply type the user name or email address to filter the user list.

Add a User
Choose “Add User” to add a PyraCloud user.

Then follow the steps show in the User Management Wizard to define the user. These steps are documented in the User Management Wizard section below.
User Management Wizard
User Management has a wizard that guides you through the process of adding a PyraCloud user. The same structure is also used to edit an existing PyraCloud user.
The steps are shown in 3 different visual ways depending on their status:
- Green number – these are steps which can be done
- Gray – these are steps which can only be done once another step has been completed. The step number and name of the step is grayed out
- Green tick – steps which are done are ticked off in green. That means that a User Management administrator has explicitly saved this step at least once.
The name of the active step is displayed in bold.


User Details
Specify the following for the user:
- E-mail address
- First name
- Last name
The PyraCloud user will get the same feature permissions as the User Management administrator. The feature permissions can be updated in the “To-Do Feature Permissions” step.

Account Security
If required, specify the account security settings:
- E-mail verification: If the user has not logged on for a specified number of days, they must verify their e-mail address before they can login to PyraCloud
- Verification check on every login: Users must use multi-factor authentication (MFA) during their login to PyraCloud
- Automated account blocking: If the user has not logged on for a specified number of days, then they are automatically blocked and cannot login to PyraCloud before being unblocked.
- Password expiration: Number of days after which they user must change their password. This setting can only be specified for users who login to PyraCloud with a username and password.

Feature Permissions
Specify which PyraCloud features the user is allowed to use in this step:
- Select the user type PyraCloud Administrators have access to User Management and can manage user access

- Use “Enable all” or “Disable all” to grant or revoke all permissions of a feature
- “Enable all” and “Disable all” will only apply to the search results
