User Management

SeqDesk has two user roles and supports self-registration for researchers and invite-based registration for admins.

Roles

Users Page

The admin users page at /admin/users provides:

• Search — by name, email, or department
• Filter — by department and researcher role (PI, Postdoc, PhD Student, Master Student, Technician, Other)
• Sort — by name, position, department, order count, study count, or join date
• User detail — click any user to see their profile, recent orders, and studies

Researcher Registration

Researchers register at /register with a two-step process:

1. Role selection — choose Researcher
2. Account creation — fill in profile details

Registration fields:

• First Name, Last Name (required)
• Email (required, unique)
• Department (select from configured departments)
• Researcher Role (PI, Postdoc, PhD Student, Master Student, Technician, Other)
• Institution (optional)
• Password (minimum 8 characters)

Controlling Registration

• Enable/disable — set auth.allowRegistration to true or false
• Email domain restriction — configure in Admin → Settings → Extra Settings → Account Validation

Admin Registration

Facility admins register through an invite-based flow:

1. An existing admin generates an invite code at /admin/admin-accounts
2. The invite can optionally be restricted to a specific email
3. The new admin navigates to /register/admin
4. They enter the invite code to verify
5. They complete the registration form (minimum 6-character password)

Managing Invites

At /admin/admin-accounts:

• Create invites with optional email restriction and expiration (1–30 days)
• View pending invites with copy-to-clipboard invite codes and registration links
• Revoke unused invites
• View history of used and expired invites
