Username: Mention the Username that the user needs to provide while logging into QMetry.
Alias: Mention a unique name to identify the user. This Alias is utilized as “Username” across QMetry modules wherever one needs to select user(s). For example, “Requirement Owner” field in the Requirement module.
First Name: Enter First Name of the user.
Last Name: Enter Last Name of the user.
Email: Enter Email address at which the user would like to receive all QMetry communications.
Timezone: Select the Timezone in accordance with the user region. If the region is under the influence of DST, then DST would be applied throughout QMetry.
Authentication Type: The drop down options are: (1) LDAP/SAML (2) QMetry. The Admin can set the Authentication Type to authenticate QMetry users either through LDAP/SAML or through QMetry database. You can authenticate QMetry users using the LDAP/SAML user registry that you set up. You can configure the server to use LDAP/SAML authentication when a user logs into QMetry. If necessary, the LDAP/SAML user can switch back to the QMetry database to check the user credentials. The Authentication Type drop down is provided to facilitate the Admin to specify login authentication of a specific user either through LDAP/SAML or through QMetry database. Select either of the following options from the drop down.
1. QMetry: QMetry database is the default Authentication Type unless it is changed to LDAP/SAML. So whenever a user logs into QMetry, the credentials are verified against QMetry database.
In case of an existing LDAP/SAML user switching over to QMetry database, the user is logging in as an LDAP/SAML user the first time with the Authentication Type “LDAP/SAML”. The user can then switch the authentication to QMetry database. The user has access over the default Project and default Role.
The user receives a link to update his Password manually if the user prefers to go through QMetry database for authentication. The user can then log into QMetry with the username and password defined for the QMetry instance.
2. LDAP/SAML: Keep the Authentication Type as LDAP/SAML if LDAP/SAML is configured and set to “Active” in LDAP/SAML Settings. LDAP/SAML is configured from Integration > LDAP/SAML. Whenever a user logs into QMetry, the credentials are verified against LDAP/SAML.
If an existing QMetry user switching over to LDAP/SAML, set the Authentication Type as “LDAP/SAML” manually on the User Management screen (Customization > Users) so that the user’s credentials will be verified against LDAP/SAML. Users with LDAP/SAML authentication type can not update or reset their own password.

QMetry admin can create project wise "Read only" access users. This can be done by assigning only "View" rights to a User Role. The "View" rights are provided to let customers grant QMetry access to a group of users while removing their ability to add, edit, execute, or delete the test assets. Users with Read Only rights will consume a regular license. Use Case: Customer has a group of users who need not have the authority to add, edit, or delete the test assets in QMetry. “Read Only” rights are sufficient for such users. The customer wants their users just to view the company data in QMetry. |
