I am the only administrator for my TNG database.
As such, I feel it is my responsibility to oversee user registration. All registered users must prove relationship with a name in my database in order to gain access to view “living” information.
I have a few tricks to handle registered users which you may find helpful.
When a new user registers for access, copy the email address of the user and store it below in the “Notes” field. Enter an administrative email address into the email field. Set the “Rights” and “Access Limits”. Check the box “Notify this user upon account activation”. Click “Save”.
Once activation notification is sent to the administrative email account, edit the user account to remove the administrative email address by replacing it with the user’s email stored in the “Notes” field. Click “Save”.
The activation notification email includes the user account login info. Copy the account info from the activation notification into a new email and send it to the user.
The original activation notification is kept on record in a folder of the email program.
If a user forgets the login info, a request to have it sent to the account email address can be made. However, registered users may forget over time, which email address was used to establish an account.
By retaining a copy of the user registration outside of TNG, the site administrator can use it for the following:
1. Log in as the registered user to view and/or verify access controls are set properly.
2. Supply the user with account registration info if they cannot gain access.
