MFA enforced	If yes is selected, user will need to authenticate after entering password, using an authenticator application. Note: The first time that a user enters after MFA enforced is set to yes, the user performs a one-time Authenticator setup. For more details on setting up Multiple Factor Authentication and logging into ObjectFlow using it, refer to First login as MFA user and Subsequent MFA logins.

Note: Usernames must be unique.

After completing the fields, click the Add button at the bottom right of the Add user dialog.

A confirmation message asks if you are sure you want to delete this specific user:
If you do not want to delete this user, click the x in the upper right corner of the message or click No.
To proceed with deleting the user, click the Yes button.
Upon clicking Yes, the User tab refreshes and the deleted user is no longer in the list of users.

Other user-related admin actions

An Admin user can reset the user password.

Click on the vertical ellipsis to the right of the user requiring a new password.
On the options pop-up menu that is displayed, click Reset Password.
On the confirmation message that is displayed, click Yes to continue.

As a result, the relevant user receives an email that provides:
- a link for resetting the password
- a verification code.
When users follow the email instructions and click on the link, they are connected with the relevant tenant and presented with a form for entering the verification code and creating their new password:

Resend invitation

Note: Resend invitation is available for users who have not logged into ObjectFlow for the first time.

Click on the vertical ellipsis to the right of the user requiring a new password.
On the options pop-up menu that is displayed, click Resend invitation.
On the confirmation message that is displayed, click OK to continue.

Tip: Before clicking OK, double-check that the email address of the user is correct!

The invitation email is sent to the relevant user again. See Inside the invitation email.

Inside the invitation email

The invitation email is a templated email from ObjectFlow to a new ObjectFlow user in your organization. It provides the new user with:

All credentials required for login and a button for first-time login
One-click links to product resources and ObjectFlow online help and more

A new user's first steps

Typically, the AlgoSec administrator in your organization registers qualified users in ObjectFlow as described in these sections.

Each newly added user receives an email invitation. This is an automatic action of ObjectFlow.

The email invitation includes all credentials needed by the user for logging into ObjectFlow for the first time, a direct link to the ObjectFlow SaaS URL and much useful information.
The email explicitly states that credentials will expire in 30 days.
Typically, a new user will receive the email, follow the directions and begin using ObjectFlow. In such cases, the Send invitation option is not displayed in the per-user actions menu . New users that don't start promptly can be reminded using the Send invitation action.
