Admin Manage Users

When enabled within API settings, public calendar users will have the option to sign in using a supported account of their choosing. When signed in, user event submissions are assigned to their account, making future event updates easier to manage for both the user and admins managing event submissions.

Browsing Users

Users are listed alphabetically by name. Beside each user is three icons:

• Edit User - Click this icon to edit, and review, the user.
• Ban User - Click this icon to ban the user.
• Delete User - Click this icon to delete the user.

When banning or deleting a user their submitted events will be removed from their account, however, they will not be removed from the public calendar. To delete a user's events search for and delete events by user first before deleting or banning the user.

Banned Users

Banned users are unable to sign in to the public calendar. The user list can be filtered to display only banned users to make management of these account easier. Banned users can, at admin option, be unbanned to have their access to the public calendar restored.

• Unban User - Click this icon to lift the user's ban.

Note: Deleting a user will result in removal of the account, however, the user will be able to sign in again after deletion. To prevent access to the public calendar a user should be banned.

Searching

To prune the list and locate specific user(s) enter search criteria into the search textbox and click the “Search Users” button.

Note: User search supports the same MySQL Fulltext operators as Event Search and matches against Name and Email Address.
