User Management

Voice of the Machine Edge has three levels of user authorization based on the type of user role selected. Each Voice of the Machine Edge feature/component has independent authorization and its own scope of privileges. See User Roles and Privileges. 

  • Observer
  • Developer
  • Administrator


Add a Voice of the Machine Edge User

  • Once a user is added, the Administrator must email the credentials to the user.
  • In the interest of security, the password that is created when adding a user is a temporary password, which must be changed by the user at the initial login.


To add a Voice of the Machine Edge user:

  1. In the navigation panel, select: System > Users.
  2. Click the(plus) icon in the upper right corner.

  3. In the Add User dialog, enter the name, username, password, and roles and then click Add User.

Password Requirements

The password requires a minimum of three bars, which indicate that the password complies with the following rules: 

  • Contains at least 1 capital letter. 
  • Contains at least 1 number.
  • Should be at least 7 characters long. 

Reset User Password

Users can reset their passwords at any time.

Enter a new password according to the Password Requirements and click Reset Password.

Edit, Remove, Disable/Enable a User

To change a Voice of the Machine Edge user's credentials or role or to disable/enable a user:

  1. In the navigation panel, select: System > Users.
  2. In the Actions list to the right of the user, select Edit,Remove, or Disable/Enable.
    1. The Remove action prompts for confirmation before deleting the user.
    2. Disable/Enable is a toggle action.
    3. Edit enables changes to all user fields.
