What this guide covers: the Authority Users register in full — lifecycle and account state, provisioning a brand-new officer, changing a role, and the Effective Access drawer.
What it doesn't cover: the account-provisioning wizard's basic shape, already introduced in Part 3 of the Command Centre overview — this guide goes one level deeper into the register that wizard feeds.
The registerThe register
Found at Authority Administration → Authority Users. Columns: Name, Institution, Role, Lifecycle, Account state, Position, Jurisdiction count.
| Field | Values |
|---|---|
| Lifecycle | active, suspended, ended |
| Account state | login linked, invitation pending, invitation expired, invitation revoked, no account linked |
These are kept as two separate fields deliberately — an officer can be a fully active directory entry with no linked login yet (for example, someone only named as a notice recipient), which is a different situation from an active login that's been suspended.
ProvisioningProvisioning a new user
Click Provision Authority User for the seven-step wizard: Identity → Institution → Role → Jurisdiction (optional) → Veterinary Contact link or creation (optional) → Invitation → Review.
Managing an officerRole changes, suspension & effective access
- Change role — shows exactly which scopes would be added and removed before you confirm, never a silent swap.
- Suspend / Reactivate / End appointment — a reason is required for suspend and end; reactivate doesn't need one.
- Effective Access drawer — opens per user and shows their real, combined access: their institution's own mandate kept clearly distinct from any jurisdiction assigned to them personally.
