For End Users
These components ensure a seamless user experience and account management.1. Registration Page: Create a user-friendly registration form to gather necessary information such as username, password, and account details. Ensure unique usernames and optional email/domain fields if required.
2. Login Page: Implement a login form with error feedback, account lock notification, and options for username/password recovery.
3. Account Management: Offer users the ability to update their account information and enable account removal or disabling.
4. Forgot Username: Allow users to recover their forgotten usernames by entering relevant account information.
5. Forgot Password: Provide a secure method for users to reset their passwords while preventing unauthorized access.
6. Unlock Request: Enable users with locked accounts to request account unlocking from administrators.
For Administrators
These features streamline administrative tasks and support users effectively.1. Register User: Empower administrators to register users who may face registration challenges.
2. Update User Info: Allow administrators to update user information when users cannot do so themselves.
3. Change User Password: Enable administrators to change user passwords on their behalf.
4. Unlock User: Grant administrators the ability to unlock user accounts, allowing users to log in again.
5. Disable/Remove User: Provide administrators with options to remove or disable user accounts.
Emails
Use email templates to communicate these important processes effectively.1. Registration Confirmation: Send a confirmation email to users to acknowledge successful registration.
2. Forgot Username: Email users their username or provide instructions for username recovery.
3. Forgot Password: Send password reset instructions to users securely.
4. Unlock Account Request: Notify administrators of specific user unlock requests via email.
Incorporating these components into your authentication system establishes a robust foundation. Users gain self-administration capabilities, while administrators can assist those in need. While various integration methods exist, these building blocks create a comprehensive yet straightforward structure.
