# Managing Users

> For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt

This topic is affected by the
[Anypoint Platform integration](https://docs.mulesoft.com/rpa-home/anypoint-migration-overview).

If you use an Anypoint account to login to RPA Manager, refer to the
[Anypoint Access Management documentation](https://docs.mulesoft.com/access-management/).

> [!IMPORTANT] If you are your organization’s first admin user, you are responsible for creating all
> other users. You can do this yourself or create another user with admin privileges to whom you
> delegate this task.

Manage the users of RPA Manager, RPA Recorder, and RPA Builder:

- Create and delete users.

- Edit the users' personal data.

- Assign privileges or roles to users that enable them to work in specific modules and, access RPA
  Builder and RPA Recorder, and assume responsibility for process projects.

- Assign a user to a process team.

## Before You Begin

- The tenant admin is created first and can create other users.

- If you are not a tenant admin, ask an administrator to
  [assign you the required privileges](#assign-privileges-to-a-user):

  <table><colgroup><col> <col></colgroup><thead><tr><th>Action</th><th>Required Privileges</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><p>Open the <strong>User Management</strong> module.</p></td><td><p>User Management Open</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Create, edit, license, and delete users.</p></td><td><p>User Management Administration</p></td></tr></tbody></table>

## Create a User

Create a user to give an employee access to RPA Manager, RPA Recorder, and RPA Builder. After
creation RPA Manager sends an email with a one-time password to the new user. The new user needs to
log in to RPA Manager and set a new password within the expiration time mentioned in the email.

1.  Open the **Users** view of the **User Management** module.

2.  Click **Create**.

3.  Complete the form **Create a New User**:

    - **Login Name**:

      Name for the user to log on to RPA Manager. After creation, the login name can no longer be
      changed.

    - **Time Zone**:

      Time zone the user works in. All times not marked otherwise are shown in the time zone of the
      user.

    - **Available/Assigned Roles/Privileges**:

      Click on a role or privilege to assign it to or remove it from the user.

4.  Click **Save**.

## Assign Privileges to a User

A user needs privileges to view and use the RPA Manager modules. This ensures that only authorized
users can access the modules. Assign privileges to a user when you create a new user or edit an
existing user.

1.  Open the **Users** view of the **User Management** module.

2.  Click either **Create** in the header bar to create a new user or **Edit**
    (![pen-to-paper symbol](/mulesoft/current/en-us/rpa-manager/_images/edit-icon.png)) in the panel of the user to edit.

3.  In the form **<\[Create,Edit\]> a \[New\] User**, scroll down to the selection list **Available
    Privileges**.

4.  Click a privilege to assign it to the user.

5.  Repeat the previous step until the user has all needed privileges.

6.  Click **Save**.

## Change Process Assignments of a User

Instead of editing a project and adding a user to its project team, you can change several project
assignments of a user at once:

1.  Open the **Users** view of the **User Management** module.

2.  Click **Assign Project** (![process-diagram symbol](/mulesoft/current/en-us/rpa-manager/_images/assignproject-icon.png)) in the
    panel of the user whose project assignments you want to change.

The view **Assign Process** shows you a list of all processes where the user is part of the process
team.

To change permissions for assigned projects to reflect changed user responsibilities:

1.  In the view **Assign Process**, for each process, select the checkboxes to permit the phases to
    the user.

2.  Click **Save**.

You cannot change permissions for the project manager, who always has permissions for every phase.

The table does not show advanced permissions, which are sometimes needed to transfer a process to
the next phase. To change these permissions,
[edit the process data sheet](https://docs.mulesoft.com/rpa-manager/processautomation-manage#edit-an-automation-project) in the **Process
Management** view of the **Process Automation** module.

To assign additional processes to a user to support the process team:

1.  In the view **Assign Process**, select a process from the dropdown **Select Process**.

2.  In the table **Process List**, in the row of the added process, select the checkboxes of all
    phases the user needs to work in.

3.  Click **Save**.

To remove a user from a process team:

1.  In the view **Assign process**, click **Delete** (![trash symbol](/mulesoft/current/en-us/rpa-manager/_images/delete-icon.png)) for
    each process to remove from the user.

2.  Click **Save**.

The project manager and the project owner cannot be deleted. To change them, use the function
[**New Process Owner**](https://docs.mulesoft.com/rpa-manager/processautomation-manage#change-the-process-owner-of-an-automation-project)
or
[**New Project Manager**](https://docs.mulesoft.com/rpa-manager/processautomation-manage#change-the-project-manager-of-an-automation-project)
in the **Process Management** view of the **Process Automation** module.

## Reset a User Password

Reset a password if the user forgot it. RPA Manager sends an email that contains a new temporary
password to the user. The user can then create a new password.

1.  Open the **Users** view of the **User Management** module.

2.  Click **Reset Password** (![key symbol](/mulesoft/current/en-us/rpa-manager/_images/resetpassword-icon.png)) in the panel of the
    user to edit.

## Change Your Password

Change your own password regularly. You are logged out in the process and have to log in again. The
password is used to log in to RPA Manager and RPA Builder.

1.  Click on your user name in the navigation side bar.

2.  Click **Profile** in the drop-down menu.

3.  In the **Profile** view, click **Change password**.

4.  Enter your old and new password.

5.  Click **OK**.

6.  Log in with your new password.

## Reset Your Password

If you forget your password or if your one-time password expires, click the link on RPA Manager
login page to reset it. You need to know your user name to reset your password.

1.  Navigate to the RPA Manager login screen.

2.  Click **Forgot your credentials?**.

3.  In the **Forgot your credentials** form, enter your username.

4.  Click **Continue**.

A confirmation request for creating a new password is emailed to you.

1.  Open the email in your email application.

2.  Click **Request New Credentials**.

A link to create a new password is emailed to you. The one-time password expires after 24 hours.

1.  Open the email in your email application.

2.  Copy or remember the one-time password.

3.  Click **Sign In**.

4.  In the RPA Manager login screen, enter your user name and the one-time password.

    > [!IMPORTANT] If you use two-factor authentication, append the time-based one-time password
    > (TOTP) to your one-time password (OTP) on login.
    >
    > For example, if your OTP is `Nz2tuQbtxpse?` and your TOTP password is `123456`, enter
    > `Nz2tuQbtxpse?123456` in the password field.

5.  Click **Sign In**.

6.  In the **Welcome to RPA Manager** form, enter a new password.

7.  Confirm and remember the password.

8.  Click **Reset Password**.

## Enable Two-Factor Authentication for Yourself

Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for extra security.

When using two-factor authentication, you log in to the system with two mutually independent secret
factors.

The TOTP (Time-Based One-Time Password Algorithm) is set up in a special app on a mobile device.
Every thirty seconds, a new password is generated and this can be used for authentication within
this time period.

Both the computer on which RPA Manager is installed, and the mobile device on which the app for
generation of the one-time password is installed, must be able to determine the precise Unix time
for verification of the user. For this reason, the time on the devices used should be synchronized
with UTC (Universal Time Coordinated).

1.  Click on your user name in the navigation side bar.

2.  Click **Profile** in the drop-down menu.

3.  In the **Profile** view, click **Enable Two-Factor Authentication**.

4.  Follow the instructions in the window **Enable Two-Factor Authentication**.

5.  Click **Enable Two-Factor Authentication**.

Log in using your password and 2FA.

> [!IMPORTANT] Append the time-based one-time password (TOTP) directly to your password on login.
>
> For example, if your password is `My1stPassword!` and your TOTP is `123456`, enter
> `My1stPassword!123456` in the password field.

## Disable Two-Factor Authentication for Yourself

Two-factor authentication can also be deactivated for you by an administrator.

To disable two-factor authentication for yourself:

1.  Click on your user name in the navigation side bar.

2.  Click **Profile** in the drop-down menu.

3.  In the **Profile** view, click **Disable Two-Factor Authentication**.

Log in using only your password.

You can [enable 2FA](#enable2faforyourself) again.

## Deactivate Two-Factor Authentication for a User

To disable two-factor authentication for a user:

1.  Open the **Users** view of the **User Management** module.

2.  Click **Deactivate Two-Factor Authentication**
    (![user with open lock symbol](/mulesoft/current/en-us/rpa-manager/_images/userdeactivate2fa-icon.png)) in the panel of the user
    whose 2FA want to deactivate.

3.  Confirm the deactivation.

The user can [enable 2FA](#enable2faforyourself) again.

## Edit a User

Edit users to change their data or permissions:

1.  Open the **Users** view of the **User Management** module.

2.  Click **Edit** (![pen-to-paper symbol](/mulesoft/current/en-us/rpa-manager/_images/edit-icon.png)) in the panel of the user to edit.

3.  Edit the form **Edit a User**.

    For an explanation of the properties, see [**Create a new User**](#form-create-user).

4.  Click **Save**.

## Remove a User

Remove obsolete users. A user cannot be deleted if it is the owner or manager of a process. Deleted
users cannot be restored. Use the **Deactivate** function to remove a user only temporarily.

1.  Open the **Users** view of the **User Management** module.

2.  Click **Delete** (![trash symbol](/mulesoft/current/en-us/rpa-manager/_images/delete-icon.png)) in the panel of the user to edit.

3.  Confirm the removal.
