User Account Management

Overview

EvoNEST uses a simple admin-controlled user management system. Only administrators can create new user accounts and manage database access.

Getting Started

Default Admin Account

When you first start EvoNEST, a default admin account is automatically created:

• Username: admin
• Password: pass
• Role: Administrator
• Database Access: admin

Creating New Users

Only administrators can create new users:

1. Sign in as an administrator
2. Go to the Users page
3. Click the Create User button
4. Fill out the user form:
   • Name: User's full name
   • Email: User's email address
   • Role: Select from admin, researcher, student, or viewer
   • Institution: Optional organization name
   • Databases: Select which databases the user can access
5. Click Submit

Managing Database Access

Administrators can change a user's database access:

1. Go to the Users page
2. Find the user in the table
3. Click the database icon (📊) in the Actions column
4. Select/deselect databases as needed
5. Click Update Databases

Managing Databases

Administrators can add new databases to the system:

1. Go to the Users page
2. In the Database Management section (admin only)
3. Enter a new database name
4. Click Add

Current Limitations

• Users cannot self-register
