Customizing New User Account Form
You can customize the New User Account form admins must fill out to create new accounts by marking certain fields required. For example, if you mark the option Password expires as required, that field becomes required when creating a user.
The following fields can be marked as required:
- Password expires
- Account expires
- Allowed IP addresses for login
- Allowed IP addresses for download
- Allowed IP addresses for upload
Note: This feature involves modifying the faspex.yml configuration file.
Modifying faspex.yml is for advanced administrative users
only.
The faspex.yml file is located in the following directory: /opt/aspera/faspex/config/faspex.yml
Important: Be sure to back up faspex.yml before
modifying.
To verify the modified fields are now required, log into Faspex with an admin account and go to Accounts > New User. Red asterisks appear near the fields that have been marked as required. Trying to create a user without specifying values for these field result in an error message to that effect.
