Manage Users

SysManX requires authentication and authorization to be used. At first-time setup you will be prompted to create an account with administrator role. After logging in to SysManX with this administrator user you may create additional user and administrator accounts.

User accounts in SysManX can have either of three roles:

  • Administrator. Gives the user full access to all features, including configuring SysManX, start and stop modem connections etc.
  • User. Access to send messages, read received messages, and manage Numberlists. They cannot change any configuration or start or stop modem connections.
  • Limited user. Access to send messages and manage Numberlists that the user is a member of (based on phone number).

To access the User settings, go to the Users menu under the Settings menu.

When you are adding a new user or editing an existing one, you can set the following fields:

  • Username (required, and must be unique)
  • Full name (optional)
  • Mobile number (optional)
  • Email (optional)
  • Role (Administrator, User or Limited User)
  • Password/Repeat password. Required when adding new user, or when changing password of existing user.

It is recommended to include both mobile number and email for administrator accounts, since SysMan will send important notifications to administrators.
