5. Deleting a user

Hardware tokens can be reused by other people, so where possible, collect the token from the old user and keep safe until required by someone else. If the hardware token is lost, please tell the Helpdesk.
6. Reinstating a user
It is possible to reinstate a deleted user. To do this, click on Deleted Users list at the top of the users’ screen.

Find the relevant user (using the search functionality if required) and click on Reinstate, then OK.
Next, verify that the user’s profile is as required, and check that they are receiving any alerts they would like. Notify the ELCY Helpdesk if the user will use hardware token/MFA/SSO to ensure the login method is linked to the user’s profile as per a new user.
7. User logs
There is a log of changes available to administrators for each user’s profile – to view this, find the relevant user, tick in the box on the left-hand side of their name and at the top click on Show Log.
This brings up the log for that user with entries for disable, enable, delete, reinstate and the previous lists of user groups allocated to that user.
8. User Activity Reporting
A report from the system is available showing the logins of users over a period of time, and what functions they have been using.
A summary of logins can be sent along with the details of each individual login date and time.
To receive this report, please contact the ELCY Helpdesk, informing them who needs to receive this, whether you want it daily, weekly (on which day) or monthly.
