This screen allows the maintenance of participant logins. This is distinct from administrative logins that are maintained for 'Users' who administer the system. Administrative logins are maintained by the organisation separately (see Manage Admin Users).
Participant logins allow participants (i.e. anyone who has had a person record created within any organisation) to login using their numerical ID to update their own details, change their password, and depending on the Roles they hold within various organisations, do things such as edit their availability for selection/allocation or view other statistics relevant to them.
These types of logins do not give access to normal administrative tasks (such as updating scores etc).
Background - Participant Logins
In general, any participant with a valid email address entered in their person record can login to:
- Edit their own details
- Change their password
- View a list of organisations that their record is associated with, and in certain cases (namely where the person holds NO ROLE at an organisation), to remove the ability for that organisation to edit their record.
- Sign up and/or purchase items or memberships as configured by parent organisations.
Where a particpant holds either a PLAYER or UMPIRE Role at an organisation, they can also 'select' that organisation and access extra information/features.
A participant must have a valid email address entered on their record before a login can be created for them. A participant can also create their own login by clicking the appropriate link on the Login page and entering their numerical ID (provided their email address has already been entered).

Participant Searching and Filtering
The list of participants within your organisation is displayed on the Participant Login Management screen. For those organisations that have more than a few hundred participants it is advisable to use the Person Filter options. You have the ability to filter by the following criteria:
- Person Role and Sub role (i.e. PLAYER, UMPIRE, TEAM OFFICIAL)
- Person Name or part name
- Account Status (See below for an explanation of possible account status values)

---|---|
INVALID_EMAIL | No account exists for this participant but their email address is missing or invalid (no account can be created until this is rectified). |
ACTIVE | Participant has an account which is active. |
LOCKED | Participant has an account which is locked (perhaps they have entered the wrong password too many times). |
