User Management

  • Last updated on

These instructions describe how to add new administrators to the system and how to manage them. In the user settings, you can also enforce policies like forced password expiration and multi-factor authorization.

  • Note that these are administrators who will use Security Awareness Training, not individuals in Address Books who will receive campaign materials. Individuals in Address Books are not users of Security Awareness Training.
  • If you do not see the System > User Manager utility, contact Barracuda Networks Support for assistance.

To add users to your Security Awareness Training account:

  1. Navigate to System > User Manager.
  2. Click New.
  3. In the User field, enter a unique name for the user – usually, this is the user's email address. Click Save.
  4. When the page refreshes, enter basic Identification information for the user:

    • User – The unique name you just chose. You can change it here, if needed.

    • Full Name – The complete, first and last, name of the user. 
    • Title – The job title for this user. 
    • Email – The email address for the user.
    • Manager Name – The name of the person to whom this user reports.   
    • Manager Email Address – The email address for this user's manager.  
    • UID – A unique identifier created by the system.
    • Notes – Anything important to say about the user, including name pronunciation and their preferences. 
  5. In the Authentication section, specify the following information:

    • Active – Confirm that this check box is selected to enable the user to access Security Awareness Training.   
    • Force Password Expire – Select this check box to force the user to change their password after a number of failed login attempts. 
    • Failed Password Attempt Lock – If this check box is selected, the user account is currently locked. The user has been sent an email, requiring them to change their password.

      Rather than your creating a new password for a new user, allow the user to make their own password by following the instructions in Resetting Your Password.

    • New Password – Optional. See note above.
      Enter a base password for the user. Type it again in the next field. Note that passwords must:
      • contain at least 8 characters.
      • contain at least one numeric digit 0-9.
      • contain both upper and lower case letters.
      • not be common variations of words in a dictionary.
      • not be reused.
      • change every 60 days.
      • contain 100 characters or fewer.
    • Authorization Type – Select either Standard UserSingle Sign-On (OAUTH2), or Single Sign-On (SAML). If neither option appears, leave this field blank.

       

      If you are using Single-Sign On, with or without integrating with Barracuda Cloud Control, be sure to specify the Single Sign-On option here. For more information, refer to Single Sign-On.

       

       

       

    • Multi-Factor Enabled   – Select this check box to require an authentication method, in addition to a password, to authenticate this user.

      Using multi-factor authentication increases security and is strongly recommended.

       

    • Multi-Factor Method – If you enabled multi-factor authentication, select the secondary authentication method here:
      • Email – User receives an authentication code via email. They must enter this code to authenticate into Security Awareness Training.
      • SMS – User receives an authentication code via text. They must enter this code to authenticate into Security Awareness Training.
      • Voice – User receives a phone call and must press a specific button to authenticate into Security Awareness Training.

      • Multi-Factor Phone # – Based on the Multi-Factor Method you just selected, specify the corresponding email, phone number, or mobile phone number for contacting the user. Punctuation is not required in phone numbers. If the phone number is international, be sure to include the country code prefix with the plus (+) sign. 
        Note that the title of this field does not change. Just match your entry type with the Multi-Factor Method you select in the field above (i.e., enter an email address for email authentication, regardless of the field label).

    In the Group Membership section, click Select to associate this user with one or more groups, each of which has associated permissions. Click the preview icon previewIcon.png to see which users are already members of a certain group.

    Consider your data integrity when granting permissions. All users can view almost all data, so consider which users need permissions to alter or delete data. For example, not every user needs to be able to delete Address Books or delete Campaigns.
