Introduction

This section of the documentation explains how an administrator manages the profiles of every user in the application.

While a regular user only reaches their own profile through the My Profile view, an administrator works with a management view that lists all the profiles stored in the system. From it, an administrator can search the profiles by username, name, email address or creation date, create a profile on behalf of a user, correct the information of an existing one, and delete profiles that are no longer needed.

The appjar does not decide who is an administrator. Both views are available to any authenticated user, and it is the application that grants or denies access to the profiles list according to its own security rules.

Free mode

Without a valid User Profile license, the application runs in free mode and is limited to 5 profiles. A restrictions bar appears above the profiles list and the My Profile view, carrying a Profiles: counter that shows how much of the free allowance is in use.

When the limit is reached:

  • The New profile button is disabled, and saving a new profile from the My Profile view is blocked.
  • Users who have no profile are no longer redirected to the profile view after logging in.
  • Existing profiles can still be edited, and deleting a profile frees a slot.

Attempting an operation that exceeds the allowance displays the message "Profile creating or editing limit reached. Contact the administrator".

See Licensing for the full free mode reference.
