<p>The Users Window shows the lists of user accounts of the <span class="application">WebIssues</span> server. It allows server administrators to create users and to change their name, access level and password. To open the Users Window, go to the <a class="link" href="using.html#main_window" title="Main Window">Main Window</a> and select <span class="guimenu">Tools</span> → <span class="guimenuitem">User Accounts</span>.</p>
<p>A regular user cannot change his own name or access level, but is allowed to change his own password. To change your password use the <span class="guimenu">Tools</span> → <span class="guimenuitem">Change Password</span> option from the <a class="link" href="using.html#main_window" title="Main Window">Main Window</a>.</p>

<p>The main part of the Users Window is the list of user accounts. For each user the name, login and access level is displayed. You can double click a user to quickly change the access level. Right clicking in the list opens a context menu containing available options.</p>
<p>The list of users is periodically updated to synchronize with changes made on the server and every time you make a change. You can also force updating the list manually by selecting <span class="guimenu">Users</span> → <span class="guimenuitem">Update Users</span>.</p>
<div class="tip" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;">

<p>The name of the user is the name displayed in all lists and properties, for example <code class="literal">John Smith</code>. The name can be changed by server administrator. Login is a unique identifier entered in the login dialog which cannot be changed, for example <code class="literal">jsmith</code>.</p>
</div>
<p>Options for creating, renaming and modifying users are only available for server administrators. Both the logins and names of users have to be unique. Existing user accounts cannot be deleted.</p>
