Prerequisites
Before managing user details in the OfficeSeries application, it's important to have administrative privileges or the required permissions. Additionally, a basic knowledge of navigating the OfficeSeries interface and an understanding of user roles, permissions, and the organization's user management policies are essential.
Getting Started
To view information for a specific user:
Step 1: Log into the OfficeSeries application
Start by opening the OfficeSeries application and entering your administrative credentials. This ensures you have the necessary permissions to access and manage user details. If you encounter any issues logging in, verify your credentials or contact your system administrator for assistance. If you forgot password, you may reset using the Forgot Password link on the login page.
Step 2: Navigate to the "Directory" menu
Once logged in, locate the main navigation bar at the top or side of the application interface. Click on the "Directory" menu to expand it. The "Directory" menu is where you can find various options related to user and group management.
Step 3: Select the "Users" submenu
Within the expanded "Directory" menu, look for the "Users" submenu. Click on it to open the user management section. This section lists all the users within your organization, allowing you to search for and select specific users.
Step 4: Choose the user whose details you want to view
In the user management section, you will see a list of users. You can use the search bar to quickly find the user you are looking for by entering their name or email address.

How to Manage User Access and Permissions
Managing user permissions in the OfficeSeries application involves assigning roles, adjusting group memberships, and specifying individual permissions. These elements collectively define what users can or cannot access within the organization.
Assigning Roles to Users: Use the "Access Control" button to assign roles directly to individual users. Roles determine the set of permissions a user has. For more details on roles, see User Roles and Groups.
Modifying Group Memberships: Adjust a user's group memberships to indirectly modify their permissions. Users inherit permissions from the groups they are part of. For guidance on managing group owners or members, see Manage Group Owners And Members guide.
Specifying Individual Permissions: For granular control, you can specify individual permissions for users. This is useful for exceptions or special cases.
Removing Roles or Permissions: Utilize the "Access Control" button to manage the revocation of roles or permissions. This involves selecting the user or group from which roles or permissions need to be removed.
Reviewing User Access: Regularly review user roles and permissions to ensure they align with current job functions and access needs. This includes checking both direct role assignments and group memberships.
Note: Managing user permissions effectively requires understanding the hierarchy of roles and permissions within your organization. Ensure you have the necessary administrative privileges to make these changes.
