User Management

Users and User Accounts

Stump has two user account types:

  • Server Owner: The owner of the server. This user has full control over the server, and can add and remove users.
  • Server Member: A user that is granted access to the server. This user has majority read-only access to the server.

An 'unclaimed' Stump server, or a server that has no user with the server owner role, will prompt for an initialization step, and will automatically assign the first registered user the Server Owner role.

All of the user management functionality is available in the Users section of the settings page, which only the Server Owner has access to, available at /settings/users in your browser. The following sections will cover the various user management features.

Creating a user

To create a new user, click the Create user button in the Users section of the settings page. This will open a modal with the following fields:

  • Username: The username of the user. This is used to log in to the server.

  • Password: The password of the user. This is used to log in to the server. You can click the Generate button to generate a random password, or manually enter one.

  • Age restriction: The optional age restriction of the user. This is used to determine which books the user can access. You may enter a number corresponding to the maximum age rating the user can access. For example, if you enter 13 then the user will be able to access books with an age rating of 13 or lower. See the age restrictions section of the Access Control guide for more information.

    • Note: If you check the Enforce restrictions for missing metadata checkbox, then the user will only be able to access books that:

      1. Explicitly have an age rating set
      2. The age rating is less than or equal to the user's age restriction.

      Otherwise, the user will be able to access books that do not have an age rating set.
