Create and Edit Users

Admin-Tools

The admin web-tools can be used to manage your SEPIA users. In SEPIA-Home they are already included and hosted via the SEPIA-Assist server. You should be able to open them via a link like this:
http://[my-sepia-assist-ip]:20721/tools/index.html

There is also a public version at https://sepia-framework.github.io/tools/index.html but please note that you need to set up your SEPIA server with an SSL certificate (HTTPS access) to be able to use it.

Login to the tools

To edit a user you first need to log-in as admin to the SEPIA-Assist server. On the authentication page select the right server address from the drop-down field or enter your address in the 'Custom Server' field, e.g.: http://[my-sepia-assist-ip]:20721/ (note the slash at the end) then enter your admin user-name and password and press 'login'.

Create new user

If you switch to the 'User-Management' page you can now create new users or edit user roles. Depending on how your SEPIA-Assist server is set up you have to white-list users first (default setting) before you can create them.
To create a new user enter an email address (can be fake but a real one might be handy in the future for user self-service) then press 'put on whitelist' and you should see a success message. After that add the password for the user and press 'create'.

Edit user roles

To modify user roles enter the 'UserID' of the user you want to edit, e.g. to give him smart home access then press 'get roles' and check the field 'Overwrite Roles' below. Add the role 'smarthomeguest' to the field like this user, smarthomeguest (keeping the existing entries) and press 'set roles'. Done :-)
