Gebruikersbeheer

The user management tool allows you to add additional administration users to LimeSurvey. We will call them in this chapter just 'users'. Do not confuse them with survey participants (respondents).

Aanmaken van gebruikers

To create a new user, open the user management dialog by clicking on Configuration (located on the main LimeSurvey toolbar) -> Manage survey administrators as shown below.

File:LimeSurveyBenuzerVerwaltung.jpg

Then, click on Add user located on the upper right part of User control table. A window will show up, asking you to:

  • Enter the desired username into the Username text field.
  • Enter the email address into the Email text field. Please note that:
    • LimeSurvey sends out a confirmation email to the address entered into the Email field. This email address will be used as the standard contact email address for surveys created by the respective user.
    • If you don't want the user to receive the confirmation email with a link to the LimeSurvey installation, username, and password, you can use your own email address to send the confirmation email to you. You can change after that the email address to the address of the user;
  • Enter user's full name into the Full name text field. Please note that the full name entered here will be used as the standard contact person name for surveys created by the respective user.
  • Click Save to create the new user.

You have now created your first user. To find out more about setting user permissions, please continue reading further.

As you can see below, there are four options under the Action column that allow you to:

  • edit the general aspects of a user - by clicking the pen symbol;
  • delete the user from the survey administrators database - by clicking the trash button;
  • set global permissions for a user - click the lock symbol;
  • set template permissions for a user - click the pen-and-lock symbol.

Gebruiker wijzigen

Gebruik het pen-symbool om een gebruiker te wijzigen.

Daarna kun je het e-mailadres, de naam en het wachtwoord wijzigen. Om de wijziging(en) op te slaan klik op Bewaar.

Gebruiker verwijderen

Gebruik het verwijder-icoon in dezelfde regel om een gebruiker te verwijderen, en bevestig de verwijdering met OK.

Globale rechten van een gebruiker instellen

  Global permissions apply to the whole LimeSurvey installation. If you want to set permissions only for a specific survey you can use the survey permissions settings.


Klik op het slot-symbool om de rechten van een gebruiker in te stellen.

The CRUD (Create, read, update, and delete) system is employed (like in the survey permission settings). To fine-tune user permissions, we strongly recommend to extend the matrix using the double-right arrowhead, which is located in its upper right corner. If you check the first box, all the CRUD permissions situated on that row are automatically checked.

You can now add or remove the following permissions:

  • Labelsets: Het recht om labelsets te beheren (aanmaken, bekijken, wijzigen, verwijderen, exporteren en te importeren).
  • Instellingen & Plugins: Met dit recht kan een gebruiker de integriteit van gegevens controleren, de SQL-database exporteren naar een sql-bestand, de algemene instellingen beheren, php-info bekijken in de algemene instellingen. Ook kunnen de plug-ins worden beheerd.
  • Surveys: This gives access to all surveys. To allow a user only to create and manage their own survey survey, only give the user the 'create' permission. A creator of a survey is the owner of the survey and will always be able to manage it. Remember that each survey can grant to users different permissions.
The global permission is applied before the survey-specific permission!
  • Templates: It allows the user to use all the available design templates and edit all non-standard templates. A person with this right should have sufficient knowledge in terms of HTML, Javascript, and CSS. If a user is not familiar with these things and is supposed to use a specific design template, it would be better to give him only access to 'read' permission. Each template can have specific permissions.
  • Gebruikersgroepen: Het recht van een gebruiker om gebruikersgroepen aan te maken, te bekijken, te wijzigen en te verwijderen.
  • Users: A user can create, modify, and delete his own administration users with this permission. The newly created users cannot have higher permissions than the parent user. You will also not be able to edit users owned by other administration users. If this has to be done, then a Superadministrator permission has to be granted.
  • Superadministrator: This permissions can only be added or removed by the user called admin and grants full permission to the whole LimeSurvey installation.

{Alert|title=Warning|text=This permissions is very powerful and you should be very careful with granting it.}}

  • Use internal database authentication: This permission allows users to access LimeSurvey's panel via the authentication page (e.g. http://domain/admin/authentication/sa/login). If it is unchecked and the respective user tries to connect to the LimeSuvey's panel, he will get the following error: 'Internal database authentication method is not allowed for this user'.

Sjabloonrechten van een gebruiker instellen

With template permissions, you can decide which design templates a user can select when creating or editing a survey. It might be a good idea to restrict the design templates a user can select in order to prevent unwanted use of design templates, which you might consider to be not suitable for a survey/questionnaire.

For example, if you have a specific design template for a group of users or customers, you might want to restrict their access to other templates to make them use only the template created for their purpose.

Klik op het pen-slotsymbool om de rechten van een gebruiker op een sjabloon te wijzigen

Selecteer nu de sjablonen waar de gebruiker of gebruikersgroep toegang tot heeft. Druk daarna op Instellingen bewaren in de rechterbovenhoek: 0.75px

To get a proper understanding of this function, check the examples provided below.

Wegwerpwachtwoorden gebruiken

A user can call the LimeSurvey login at /limesurvey/admin and enter a username and a one-time password (which was previously written into the users table - column one_time_pw - by an external application).

To enable this login method, the line $use_one_time_passwords = false; has to be set 'true' in config.php (it is 'false' by default).

De URL moet de volgende waarden bevatten:

  • user: de gebruikersnaam die gebruikt wordt om in te loggen op LimeSurvey. Deze moet bestaan!
  • onepass: het wachtwoord dat opgeslagen ligt in de gebruikerstabel

A valid URL to login using a one-time password will look like this:

Things to watch out for:

  • To enable this login method, the line $use_one_time_passwords = false; has to be set true in config.php (it is 'false' by default).
  • The passed username has to exist in LimeSurvey's users table.
  • The one-time password (which can be set via an external application) has to be stored as MD5 hash in column one_time_pw of table users.
  • The passed plain text password will be hashed using the sha256 function and will then be compared to the stored hash in column one_time_pw of table users. Both passwords have to match.
  • After the first login with the one-time password, it gets deleted from the database. The user won't be able to log in anymore with that respective password a second time.

Set permissions for a single survey

These permissions only apply for a single survey. If you want to set permissions for the whole system, you can use global permissions. These permissions can be offered either to a single user or to a user group.

  Attention : An existing user account is required to set permissions for a single survey. If the account doesn't exist, you have to create it first and then change the survey permissions. The same applies to offering survey permissions to a user group. Besides the necessity to have one created, you also need to add at least one user to that group in order to be able to select it and grant it survey permissions.


To change the survey permissions, you have to select the Settings menu of your survey, which includes the general settings of your installation. Then, click on Survey permissions and choose to whom would you like to offer permissions. The rights can be offered either separately to specific users or to a user group.

Gebruikersrechten gebruiker voor een enquête instellen

Kies daarna de gebruiker waarvoor je de rechten wilt instellen en klik op Voeg gebruiker toe.

After you click Set survey permissions, the user's survey permissions matrix will be shown.

You can set in this matrix the user's survey permissions. Checking a box grants survey permissions to the respective user. If you click on a checkbox from the first column, all the rights of the corresponding line will be selected/removed.

Click on the double-right arrowhead to access the extended version of the matrix to choose specifically the actions that can be performed by a user. After you finished editing the survey permissions, click on the Save button, which is located in the upper right part of the screen.

Some examples are provided below in order to help you get a better understanding of the Limesurvey's survey permissions system.

Grant survey permissions to a user group

Click on add a user group and select the user group to which you would like to add the permission rights.

You will select in the next step the permissions that you will allocate to the members of that user group. Do not forget to click on the double right arrowhead to get an extended view of the permissions matrix.

After you finished editing the survey permissions, click on the Save button, which is located in the upper right part of the screen.

Some examples are provided below in order to help you get a better understanding of the Limesurvey's survey permissions system.

The user group function is still experimental. Use our bugs tracker to describe any kind of inconsistencies.

Voorbeelden

Different scenarios are presented below. They provide some advice about which rights are necessary for some specific tasks and how they can be granted to the users.

I want to add a new person in charge for administrating LimeSurvey

  • Log in as admin.
  • Create a new user account.
  • Grant that user the Superadministrator permission.
  • Not necessary : Setting the template permissions (Superadministrator has all permissions for all templates).
  • Not necessary : Setting the survey permissions (Superadministrator has all permissions for all surveys).

A new user wants to create his/her own surveys

  • Log in as admin (or as a user that has the Superadministrator permission).
  • Create a new user account.
  • Set global permissions for that user to Create survey.
  • Optional : Set template permissions - select which template(s) should be used by the user/user group.

The creator of a survey needs another person to edit his/her survey

  • Log in as admin (or as a user that has the Superadministrator permission).
  • Create a new user account.
  • Set no global permissions for user.
  • Set no template permissions for user.
  • Set the survey permissions the way you want. If he/she should receive all the survey permissions, you can check the first box from each row. Otherwise, click on the double-right arrowhead to see the expanded matrix (upper right corner) and select only those rights you believe the respective user should have.

A person responsible for the survey wants to see the results of the survey and export them

  • Log in as admin (or as a user that has the Superadministrator permission).
  • Create a new user account.
  • Set no global permissions for user.
  • Set no template permissions for user.
  • Set survey permissions to: Responses -> View/read and export, and Statistics: View/read.

I need help from two interns that can help me with the translation of my survey

  • Log in as admin (or as a user that has the Superadministratpr permission).
  • Create n user accounts (where n is the number of translators).
  • Create a user group called Translators and add the n accounts to this group.
  • Go to the Survey permissions and click on Add a user group.
  • If they do only translations, then offer them the Quick translation permission.
