Creating user profiles

All users must be registered in Mingle with their own profile before they can sign in.

User administration

When you first create a user profile in Mingle, they will not have access to any projects by default - you must open a project and make them a team member of that project. The exception to this is if you create a user as a Mingle administrator, in which case they will have full access to all projects.

Note: Only Mingle administrators can create and manage user profiles.

How to create a new user profile

1. Sign in to Mingle as a Mingle administrator.
   Mingle displays the Current projects page.
   
   
   
2. Click the Manage users link.
   Mingle displays the Manage users page.
   
   
   
3. Click the New user link.
   Mingle displays the New user page.
   
   
   
4. Type a Sign-in name for the user.
   It's a good idea if this name matches their PC username. Not only will it be easier to remember, but it may be linked to your company's LDAP or Active Directory server.
5. Type the user's Full name.
6. Type the user's Email.
7. Type and retype a standard password for this user.
   All passwords must be at least five characters long, include a number and have a symbol such as an exclamation mark, dash or question mark.
   This will most likely be an interim password that the user must change when they first log on. Tell users that it's a good idea if this password matches their PC password. Not only will it be easier to remember, but it may be linked to your company's LDAP or Active Directory server.
8. If your team's SVN repository is linked to Mingle, type this user's Version control user name.
   The user can enter this username later.
9. Click the Create this profile button.
