How do I create, edit & delete users from UpRaise?

Managing users is one of the most vital functions in Employee Success. At the moment, each user can have following attributes - Name & Profile Pic (populated from Jira profile), Employee Success role, designation, manager, teams. As the number of users grows, we recommend periodically checking your user list and making the necessary updates; or allowing your team members to update their profile information themselves via self-service.

All the users who are added to Jira post Employee Success Installation are inserted into its data tables when they navigate to any of the Employee Success screens. If admin or super admin notices any discrepancy in users' data he can manage them by navigating to the 'users' tab under company directory.

Adding new user

Admin or super admin can add new users from the highlighted section below. User box when clicked searches for Jira users - through username, display name as well as email address.

While adding new user, admin or super admin has to decide the role of this user by clicking on Employee Success role option. If user based access is set and you are admin then you can assign role of user, admin, no access. If you are a super admin then all four roles i.e. user, admin, super admin & no access will be available in dropdown. For more details, read how Employee Success roles are managed. 

Clicking on the designation dropdown opens up the list of designations that can be searched through, by typing. Admin or super admin can not only select any of the existing designations, but also create new ones on the fly (refer to the screenshot below). When you start typing a designation that does not exist in Employee Success data tables, it tells you (in brackets) that this designation will be newly created along with the user. Note that, if you do not go through the process of adding user - new designation will not be added.

As soon as a designation is created, it will appear under designation tab for managing designations.

While trying to make someone as manager of another user, it is important to note that the user should be first added into the Employee Success data tables. Essentially, while the user select box searches the users in Jira data tables - manager select box searches the users in Employee Success data tables.

One user can be a part of multiple teams. Thus the Teams search box allows searching & selecting multiple teams at a time. If the team does not yet exist, admin or super admin can create one on the fly - similar to how a new designation can be created.

Editing existing user

Admin or super admin can search and edit existing users from the highlighted section below. The search results are filtered as you type along any of the parameters. You can either search the users through their Jira display name, their role, their designation, their manager or the teams they belong to. 

Admin or super admin can select any of the users for editing from the list. Just click on the 'pencil' icon that appears on mouse over for each user row. 

One can observe that while editing, User box is disabled deliberately. This ensures that only the selected user's profile attributes are updated and not the user herself. Employee Success role, designation, manager & team editing is same as that of while adding a new user.

Deleting existing user

Users deleted or deactivated in Jira appear in company directory → user listing with (deleted) or (deactivated) suffix. Employee Success does not allow attributes update for these users.
