Manage Guest Users¶
Allegra can be configured to allow users to register themselves as regular system users or so-called guest users. Guest users have limited access to the system and can create new items and only view and modify their own.
Manage guest users¶
The handling of guest users is essentially the same as for regular users (see Manage Regular Users) with the differences listed below. To manage guest users, go to Administration > Users and Groups > Customers.
Registering guest users by email¶
You can allow people to create items by email. In this case, a new guest user can be created automatically if the email is from an authorized domain. The system tries to guess the first and last name. The automated email response will contain a link to the newly created item and a link to where the person can register, even if self-registration is not enabled.
Permissions for guest users¶
Guest users cannot be assigned roles directly. Instead, they must belong to a group and inherit their permissions from that group.
Features available to guest users¶
Guest users can only
View a list of their open and closed items
Create new items
Add comments to their own open items
Close their own items
LDAP support for guest users¶
There is no LDAP support for guest users.
