In the users table, you can click on a user to get detailed user information and more options in several tabs. Learn what you can do in each tab.

Add or change the full name of a user.
User Information
In Analytics you can configure Acrolinx to display a custom information form when users start a check in the Sidebar or sign in to the Dashboard. Under User Information, you can view and change custom fields you set in Analytics for the selected user. Adjust the settings with the dropdown fields in the General tab or directly in the table.
Learn more in Create, Edit, and Delete Analytics Custom Fields.
License Type
Here you can select the license type with the radio buttons Named and Concurrent or change the license status. Before you take any action, you might want to read License Types.
It's good practice to review usage regularly and release user licenses that you don't use.
To release a license, follow these steps:
-
Make sure that your role has the "Release user licenses" privilege.
-
Navigate to Users in the Dashboard.
-
Click on a user with a License Type: (Active)
-
In the detail view, navigate to the General tab.
-
Under LICENSE STATUS, click RELEASE LICENSE.
Here you can edit the roles of a user. You’ll know exactly what's included in a role because all available roles are listed with their privileges.
Notice
To make any changes to the assigned roles, you need the privilege to edit the User Management section.
To assign a role, do the following:
-
Click on the specific user that you want to add roles for.
-
Navigate to the ROLES tab.
-
On the right, you see all available roles. Select the check box next to a role to assign it to the user.
Easy role management by checking boxes.
To unassign a role, do the following:
-
Click on the specific user that you want to remove roles from.
-
Navigate to the ROLES tab.
-
On the left, you see the currently assigned roles, click the check box to remove a role.
Easy role management by unchecking boxes.
Notice
A user needs to have at least one assigned role.
In this tab, you can see when the user was added and the last time they accessed an integration. Usage Information also displays the checking frequency.
This tab is only available for super administrators.
Acrolinx super administrators can create API tokens for the users they manage via the Acrolinx Dashboard. API tokens let you check content without having to interact with a browser or other software. This is useful if you want Acrolinx to run regular automated checks on your content.
Note
You can't create API tokens for the built-in admin user.
To create an API token for an Acrolinx user account, follow these steps:
-
Sign in to the Dashboard.
-
Go to Users, search for the specific user, and click their name. This opens the User Administration page for that user.
-
Navigate to the tab API TOKEN, and click CREATE AN API TOKEN.
The API token will appear in a dialog box.
Note
As soon as you generate an API token, save it somewhere secure (like a password manager) so that you can access it again. Once you leave the User Settings or User Administration page, the API token will disappear from the display.
API tokens generated in the Dashboard are valid for 4 years, even if the user's password changes in the meantime. Each user can only have one active API token. When you generate a new API token for a user, the existing token will become invalid.
