Manage users and permissions

Applies To: Windows 8

As an administrator, you can edit your own user profile as well as those of other users. You can also accept or deny requests for permission.

Managing users

Here’s a diagram that shows the user management options available on the Administration page of the Dashboard, when you sign in as an administrator.

From either the Windows® Hardware Developer Center or the Windows® Desktop App Developer Center, sign in to the dashboard with your administrator Microsoft account.
On the Administration page, on the Manage users tile, click Manage users in your organization.
From the list of users, click the user you want to manage.
On the Manage user page, you can open the following tabs:
- Personal information. Update name, contact information, and division, or delete the user.
- Permissions. Select or clear the check boxes to enable the permissions you want the user to have.
- Password. If your user has not yet migrated their sign-in name to a Microsoft account, you can reset their Winqual password here.

From either the Windows® Hardware Developer Center or the Windows® Desktop App Developer Center, sign in to the dashboard with your administrator Microsoft account.
On the Administration page, on the Permissions tile, click View permissions.

Here you can view the range of permissions available for your company, what they are for, and how many people have access to each one.

From either the Windows® Hardware Developer Center or the Windows® Desktop App Developer Center, sign in to the dashboard with your administrator Microsoft account.
On the Administration page, on the Requests tile, click View pending user requests.
On the Pending user requests page, select the name of the user whose request you are ready to manage, and then approve or deny the user’s request.
