Accessing the User Management page

The User Management page is found in the Tenant settings section, which is accessible through the three-dot menu in the page header.

The User Management page can then be accessed by the Users item in the Management group.

Inviting people to your CafeX tenant

As an administrator you can provision people in the following ways:

Invite them to your tenant.
Configure SCIM to work alongside your identity provider.

Inviting people to your tenant

To invite people to your CafeX tenant:

Access the User Management page.
Click Add.
Enter the email addresses of the people to invite to CafeX.
- Before you continue, CafeX validates the email addresses you provide.
Click Invite.

CafeX sends an email to the addresses you provide that invites them to sign up for CafeX.

If they accept the invitation, they are then active Users of your tenant.

Provisioning Users with SCIM

CafeX role types

Users of your organization that you provision to use CafeX have one of the following roles:

Role	Description
ADMIN	Administrators manage the CafeX account for their organization.
STANDARD	A standard User within your organization.
PENDING	CafeX has sent an invitation to sign up and use Cafex and they still have to accept it. When they complete sign up, CafeX allocates the STANDARD role.
OWNER	CafeX reserves this role for future use. This is currently equivalent to ADMIN.
DEACTIVATED	The person can no longer sign in, or use CafeX.
PENDING DEACTIVATED	The person did not complete sign up, and can no longer sign up to CafeX.
