Purpose
This screen allows the maintenance of participant logins.
These 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). Administrative type logins are called 'Users' and this list is maintained by the organisation separately via the USER LIST (Organisation Menu Mode under USERS menu item)
Go to Mode: Any* Menu: People -> Participant Logins
* Except Website (SportzVault)
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).

Screen Overview
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 Subrole (ie PLAYER, UMPIRE, TEAM OFFICIAL)
- Person Name or part name
- Account Status (See below for an explanation of possible account status values)
Account Status
The participant login account can have the following status's
NO_ACCOUNT - No account exists for this participant (an account can be created)
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)
DELETED - Participant has an account which has been marked Deleted
Participant List
After the search is performed results are displayed in the results table with the following columns:
Select: This is a checkbox for each record to indicate you want to select this record
ID: The internal ID of the participant
Edit: A link to edit the participant details
Email: The email address for the participant
Last Logon: If the participant has logged on then this is the date of their last logon, otherwise this will be blank
Current Roles: Commas separated list of roles the participant has in this organisation
Status: The current Status for the participant login account (see description of possible Status's above
Valid Actions: A list of valid actions that can be performed against this login account. If you choose an action that is not valid the action will not be performed for this participant
Where a login already exists for the person concerned, that row will have a light green background otherwise the will be no background. Where a login account has been locked or deleted the text will be displayed as orange or red.
Actions that may be taken for each participant
Where a login already exists:
- Undelete a deleted login: In some circumstances a login can become deleted. In this case an 'Undelete' link will show in the Action column. Click to Undelete the login.
- Unlock the login if it is locked: The login will lock after a certain number of consecutive unsuccessful login attempts. A locked account will show an 'Unlock' link in the Action column. Clicking this link will unlock the account, and send a password reminder email to the person (it will not reset the password).
- Reset the password: This will change the password to a random password, unlock a locked account, and send a password reset email to the person.
- Resend Msg.: The user will be re-sent the 'welcome message' - which is the email first sent when the login is created.
Where a login does not already exist:
- Create login: Provided a valid email address exists for the person, logins can be created 'one-by-one' by clicking the 'Create Login' link. This will create the login and send a 'welcome' email to the person which supplies the login details. See below about how to create all logins at once.
The 'Edit' link allows direct access to edit the person record.
Creating all logins
To bulk create all logins at once click the 'Create All Logins' button. This will create logins and send welcome emails for all participants on the list which currently do not have a login, and which have a valid email address (that is, all records which are displaying a 'Create Login' link).
If the Also send welcome message to current users when Creating All Logins checkbox is checked, as well as creating logins for participants who do not have one, all participants who already have logins will be re-sent a welcome message. This option should normally not need to be used.
