A user is a person that can log in. An administrator of an organisation can create users for teachers or students and assign them various access rights.
Groups which the user is a member of. Edit the user group to add or remove users.
Properties
The person represented by the user. Creating and associating a person with the user account is essential when the username is not an e-mail. It allows such user to reset their password, for example.
Co-owner
Co-owners have unlimited access to all data created by the owner. They cannot be assigned individual access rights and cannot be added to user groups. All access rights and group memberships that might have been set up earlier will be ignored as long as the user is a co-owner.
Authentication and security
Password requirements
The minimum password length is 9 (nine) characters. The password must contain a lowercase letter, an uppercase letter and a digit. The password doesn't expire and no history of previous passwords is kept.
Account lock-out
After five unsuccessful login attempts the user account is locked for one hour. That means all subsequent attempts to log in will fail and the user will be able to log in with the correct password one hour after the lock-out started.
Multi-factor authentication (MFA)
Users are provided with optional MFA via a checkbox in the user screen. One turned on, a verification code sent to the user's email address is required to log in in addition to the password.
Single sign-on (SSO)
Users may use their Google and Microsoft account to log in, provided that the email address matches the Skolaris account.
