When the Intelligence Central user is enabled their password is randomly generated. The Administrator can see the password. It is up to the Administrator to notify the user of their new password.

Groups | Description |

Users with an Administrator role (User Roles) can remove Active Directory groups. Users in the group who are inactive on Toad Intelligence Central are automatically deleted when the group is deleted. Inactive users are users who have no published objects, no objects shared with them and are part of no other group. | |
Intelligence Central groups can be removed by any user with an Administrator role or the owner (creator) of the group. |
|
Note: When the group is removed, Share and Manage rights assigned to the group are also removed. The ability for members of the group to see / manage objects may be affected dependent on the other rights assigned to them. A user is given the highest level of rights applied to them either individually or to the group(s) they are a member of. |
