=General=

Al hacer click en el ícono se abre la ventana para el manejo de usuarios. Dependiendo de los permisos que tenga asignados, podrá cambiar su contrase&ntilde;a o manipular otras cuentas de usuarios cambiando sus privilegios.

En este contexto, el término usuario se refiere a un alguien  que puede hacer login a la interface de administración de encuestas

Si quiere darle a un usuario acceso limitado a una encuesta,
 * primero debe crear el usuario;
 * luego, elegir la encuesta en el panel de administración;
 * elegir "Survey security settings" (Configuración de seguridad para la encuesta),
 * agregar el usuario
 * y  configure los permisos de acceso de la encuesta (En inglés) para el usuario.

The user management tool allows you to add additional administration users to LimeSurvey. We will just call them 'users' in this chapter. Do not confuse them with survey participants (respondents).

=Agregar un usuario=

Abajo de la pantalla hay una linea con cajitas de texto que le dejan definir nuevos usuarios:



Then, click on Add user located in the upper right area of User control table. A window will show up asking you to:


 * Username: El nombre de usuario con el que hará login.
 * Email: El email del usuario, usado para enviarle la contrase&ntilde;a y otra información administrativa.
 * Full Name: El nombre completo del usuario, como aparecerá en otros lugares.

al cliquear en el botón Add User el sistema genera automáticamente una contrase&ntilde;a para ese usuario.



A menos que use 'Web server Authentication Delegation', el sistema le envía un email al usuario con toda la información necesaria para hacer login (URL de administración, nombre de usuario y contrase&ntilde;a).

Si el usuario no tiene email, debe volver atrás y cambiar a mano la contrase&ntilde;a; luego, obviamente, debe dársela al usuario.



As you can see below, there are four options under the Action column that allow you to:




 * edit the general aspects of a user - by clicking the pen symbol.
 * delete the user from the survey administrators database - by clicking the wastebin button.
 * set global permissions for a user - by clicking the lock symbol.
 * set theme permissions for a user - by clicking the pen-and-lock symbol.

=Configurar los permisos de usuario=

You can use the pen symbol to edit a user.

You can set a new email address, full name, and even change his or her password. If you have finished what you want to do, click on the Save button (right upper part of the window).

Delete user
To delete a user account, simply click on his or her corresponding wastebin button (located on the same line as the user account you want to delete) and click OK.

=Configurar los permisos de usuario=

To set global permissions for a user, click on the lock symbol.



The CRUD (create, read, update, and delete) system is employed (like in the survey permission settings). To fine-tune user permissions, we strongly recommend to extend the matrix using the double-right arrowhead, which is located in its upper right corner. If you check the first box, all the CRUD permissions in that row are automatically checked.



Para cada usuario, independientemente de la encuesta, puede tener estos permisos:
 * Permisos de superadmin
 * Crear encuestas
 * Configurador
 * Crear usuarios
 * Borrar usuarios
 * Administrar templates o plantillas
 * Administrar label-sets/labels


 * Participant panel: For more details, continue reading about the central participant database here.


 * Label sets: Permission to create, view, update, delete, export, and import label sets. The label sets don't have specific permissions (unlike themes).


 * Settings & Plugins: With this permission a user can check data integrity, save the SQL database to an .sql file, manage global settings, view the PHP info in the global settings, and manage all plugins.


 * Surveys: Gives access to all surveys. To allow a user to only create and manage their own survey, give the user the 'create' permission. A creator of a survey is the owner of the survey and will always be able to manage it. Remember that each survey can grant different permissions.


 * Themes: It allows the user to use all the available design themes and edit all non-standard themes. A person with this right should have sufficient knowledge in terms of HTML, Javascript, and CSS. If a user is not familiar with these things and is supposed to use a specific design themes, it would be better to only give him 'read' permission. Each theme can have specific permissions.


 * User groups: This permission allows a user to create/view/update/delete user groups.


 * Users: A user can create, modify, and delete his own administration users with this permission. The newly created users cannot have higher permissions than the parent user. You will also not be able to edit users owned by other administration users. If this has to be done, then a Superadministrator permission has to be granted.


 * Superadministrator: This permissions can only be added by other Superadministrator with this setting as update and grants full permission to the whole LimeSurvey application.


 * Use internal database authentication: This permission allows users to access LimeSurvey's panel via the authentication page (e.g. http://domain/admin/authentication/sa/login). If it is unchecked and the respective user tries to connect to LimeSuvey's panel, he will get the following error: 'Internal database authentication method is not allowed for this user'.

Set theme permissions for a user
With theme permissions, you can decide which design themes a user can select when creating or editing a survey. It might be a good idea to restrict the design themes a user can select in order to prevent unwanted use of design themes, which you might consider to not be suitable for a survey/questionnaire.

For example, if you have a specific design themes for a group of users or customers, you might want to restrict their access to other themes to only make them use the themes created for their purpose.

To set or edit the themes permissions for a user, simply click the pen-and-lock symbol for design themes:



Select the design themes to which the respective user or user groups should have access. After you finished your selection or deselection, do not forget to hit the Save button:.

=Use one-time passwords=

A user can call the LimeSurvey login at /limesurvey/admin and enter a username and a one-time password (which was previously written into the users table - column one_time_pw - by an external application).

To enable this login method, the line  has to be set 'true' in config.php (it is 'false' by default).

The URL has to contain the following variables:
 * user: The username normally used to login into LimeSurvey. This username has to exist in the 'users' table of the database.
 * onepass: The plain text password which is then compared to the password in the 'users' table

A valid URL to login using a one-time password will look like this:

http://www.yourdomain.org/limesurvey/index.php/admin/authentication/login?user=myusername&onepass=secretpassword

The 'secretpassword' field is plain text, not MD5 code.

Things to watch out for:
 * To enable this login method, the line  has to be set   in config.php (it is 'false' by default).
 * The passed username has to exist in LimeSurvey's users table.
 * The one-time password (which can be set via an external application) has to be stored as MD5 hash in column one_time_pw of table users.
 * (This should be ignored except "Both passwords have to match") The passed plain text password will be hashed using the sha256 function and will then be compared to the stored hash in column one_time_pw of table users. Both passwords have to match.
 * After the first login with the one-time password, it gets deleted from the database. The user won't be able to log in anymore with that respective password a second time.
 * My local LS system can't test the permissions with different accounts (my email password does not have a way to be connected).

Permiso de configurador
Este permiso determina si el usuario puede ejecutar las siguientes acciones:
 * Chequear la integridad de los datos
 * Hacer backups o resguardos de la base de datos
 * Acceder a la información de phpinfo en la pantalla de overview summary

To change the survey permissions, you have to select the Settings sidebar of your survey. Then, click on Survey permissions and choose to whom would you like to offer permissions. The rights can be offered either separately to specific users or to a user group.





Grant survey permissions to a user
In the next step, select the user that will receive survey rights and click Add user.



After you click Set survey permissions, the user's survey permissions matrix will be shown.



You can set in this matrix the user's survey permissions. Checking a box grants survey permissions to the respective user. If you click on a checkbox from the first column, all the rights of the corresponding line will be selected/removed.

Click on the double-right arrowhead to access the extended version of the matrix to choose specifically the actions that can be performed by a user. After you finished editing the survey permissions, click on the Save button, which is located in the upper right corner of the screen.

Some examples are provided below in order to help you get a better understanding of Limesurvey's survey permissions system.

Grant survey permissions to a user group
Click on add a user group and select the user group to which you would like to add the permission rights.



In the next step, select  the permissions that you will allocate to the members of that user group. Do not forget to click on the double right arrowhead to get an extended view of the permissions matrix.



After you finished editing the survey permissions, click on the Save button, which is located in the upper right part of the screen.

Some examples are provided below in order to help you get a better understanding of the Limesurvey's survey permissions system.

Permiso para crear/borrar usuarios
Se le puede dar a un usuario el permiso para crear otros usuarios. En este caso, podran darle a los nuevos usuarios, como mucho, los permisos que ellos mismos tienen, pero no más.

En el caso de que un usuario requiera mayores permisos que su 'padre', el primer superadmin deberá 'adoptar' a este usuario haciendo click en 'Take Ownership', en la linea que describe al usuario.

Sólo entonces el administrador podrá darle al usuario los permisos requeridos.

Por otro lado, un usuario puede tener permisos para borrar los usuarios que ha creado.

I want to add a new person in charge for administrating LimeSurvey

 * Log in as admin.
 * Create a new user account.
 * Grant that user the Superadministrator permission.
 * Not necessary : Setting the theme permissions (Superadministrator has all permissions for all themes).
 * Not necessary : Setting the survey permissions (Superadministrator has all permissions for all surveys).

A new user wants to create his/her own surveys

 * Log in as admin (or as a user that has the Superadministrator permission).
 * Create a new user account.
 * Set global permissions for that user to Create survey.
 * Optional : Set theme permissions - select which theme(s) should be used by the user/user group.

Permisos de superadmin
Un usuario con SuperAdmin tiene el permiso de administrar todos los objetos del sistema (encuestas, preguntas, plantillas, etiquetas, usuarios).

Sin embargo, sólo el primer superadmin (el configurado durante la instalación), puede dar este privilegio a otros usuarios.

Permisos sobre templates o plantillas
El botón 'Set Template Rights' permite especificar qué plantilla puede usar un usuario en sus encuestas. La plantilla 'default' siempre está accesible para todos los usuarios.

NOTA: Aquí estamos hablando del permiso para usar la plantilla, y NO para modificarla.

Permisos sobre Labelset
Este permiso habilita a los usuarios a editar los labelsets globales a todas las encuestas.



I need help from two interns that can help me with the translation of my survey
