User Management
User management is where Administrators can Add and Change users access levels.
To create a coach, you only must fill out the Create New Coach form. This is particularly useful if an admin is not going to be the Commissioner and wishes to set another Commissioner up early so they can set up the tournaments.
You should enter the Coach Name, and full name, the email and phone are optional, but handy if your players arrange their own times to play.
Set a password and get the player to change it early on.
NAFLM has been translated into several languages for everybody to use:
- English
- Spanish
- German
- French
- Italian
Choose the appropriate language for your player. They can change it later as well.
NAFLM uses Access Control Levels for Users, Local and Global Commissioners. When setting up a user we only have two options, Regular coach, and Global Commissioner (Site Admin)
Only choose Global Commissioner if you are setting up a 2nd admin person. Commissioner rights for one or more leagues can be set at the local access level and are more suitable for commissioners who do not require, for example, database tasks.
When you set up your users, if you have more than one League you will have more than one option here.
Highlight the league you wish your user to have access too. Note: for Global Commissioner creation you don’t need to do this, just click “Create Coach”
Once selected, hit Create Coach.
If you have a coach, you wish to add as a Local League Commissioner you can add them here. Enter the coaches name (same as their username)
Select from the drop-down box what Access Level you want to give to them, out of Regular Coach, Local Commissioner, or no Permissions to access the site at all.
Choose from the dropdown box the League you wish to grant them permissions to.
Select, then click “Change Access”
The user’s access will now be updated.
At the bottom of the change local access level we have a link to allow admins to do on Mass changes to users, very useful when you have a 2nd league and want to give coaches access to more than one League quickly.
Click the “Mass user access changes?”
The Change local access level area will expand out with all the users. Each user has a check box - simply check what users you wish to change the permissions for, select the league for which the change should apply, and click “Change LOCAL access”.
If a Commissioner needs to see what the access level of a particular coach is, they can do that by entering the coach’s name into the Display Coach Access Levels section
Note: Like all forms OBBLM will auto suggest the coach’s name.
Once entered hit “Display coach’s access levels”
This will display below the coach’s name all access levels granted so far.
You can see that this coach has Global Commissioner permissions, as well as acting as a local commissioner to two leagues.
For a regular coach:
The standard Global setting is “No global rights” and the coach has access to Local League as a Regular coach; in this case it is just one league. The permissions for this coach can be changed using the step described above.
If you must add or remove a coach from being a global commissioner, you can do that in the Change Global Access Level section.
Enter the coach’s name and choose to add or remove from the drop-down box
Once selected click “Change GLOBAL access”
The changes are displayed in the “Display coach access levels” box.
This will tell you what has been changed about the coach.
If a coach has forgotten their password, a Global Commissioner can reset the password for a coach.
Enter the Coaches name and new Password, and then click “Change Password”.
When users have registered to be coaches in either league the local commissioners will be notified via email. Also, in the User Management admin section, Global Commissioners can see inactivated Coaches and activate them with the click of a button.
To activate the coach just click “Activate”, and now the Coach is a coach in the league they selected during their registration.
