User Management
The User Management page contains options to create, delete and edit user accounts on the Manager, as well as see their last login times. Access the page from the Administration menu.
The table of users supports multi-column ordering. The contents of every column can be sorted in ascending or descending order by clicking the column name. When another column name is clicked, the ordering priority is shifted to the new column and indicated by numbers next to the column names.
The User Management page also allows filtering the list of users by various criteria (date joined, date of last login, user status, directory). The options for filtering are in the sidebar on the right.
Adding New User Accounts
Click Add user above the search bar.
Enter the data about the new user (user name, password, email address, first and last name).

User Directory Settings
Spectra Detect Manager supports user account management with the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). LDAP authentication can be enabled and configured in the dialog on the Configuration via the Manager Web Interface page.
It is important to note that the existing local accounts on the Manager will not be managed or in any way affected by LDAP when its configuration changes.
Similarly, any username conflicts between LDAP and existing user accounts on the Manager will resolve in favor of the existing account. For example, if an account named “reversinglabs” exists on Manager, it will not be possible to assign the same name to an LDAP account.
User Profile Settings
To modify the profile for the user currently logged in to the Manager, click My Details in the user menu at the top right of the web application.
The configuration dialog allows every Manager user to modify their details (such as their first and last name), change the email address associated with their account, and set a new password for logging into the Manager.
