Member Experience

Authentication

As part of 24.08, we made a change that affects Aurora authentication. We changed the value of a secret config that will have the effect of invalidating any currently existing Aurora authentication cookies. As a result, Aurora members will effectively be signed out of the community and have to sign in again after the release is deployed.

Manage Users

The Manage Users page became available in Communities Aurora v24.06 with the introduction of the Delete Users functionality. With this release, two new features are available on this page:

• Add New Members
• Manage Members

To create a test account:

1. Open the Account menu.
2. Go to Settings > Users > Manage Users.
3. In the Add New Members area, click Add Member.
4. On the Add Member window, enter the following information:
   
   1. Username
   2. Email address
   3. Password
   4. Roles
5. (Optional) If you want to apply roles and settings from an existing account, turn on the Inherit roles and settings from existing member toggle and enter the Username or User ID of the account with settings you want the new account to use.
6. Select Create Member.
   
   

    

For more information, see Create test accounts for troubleshooting.

Edit existing member details

If you need to adjust a member’s username, email address, password, roles, or SSO IDs, you can now do so from the Manage Users page.

To edit existing member account details:

1. Open the Account menu.
2. Go to Settings > Users > Manage Users.
3. In the Manage Members area, enter the Username or User ID (ID number or member profile URL) of an existing member.
4. On the Manage Member window, update the following as needed:
1. Username
2. Email address (you can also Mark email as verified if necessary)
3. New password 
4. Roles
5. (SSO members only) SSO ID
   Note: Be sure to update this field only when necessary, such as when SSO ID conflicts arise. Otherwise, the member may inadvertently create new accounts upon sign-in.
   
6. Select Save.

Configurable Page Scripts

This update enables you to configure JavaScript page scripts to run during page loads, facilitating functionality such as analytics, web tracking, performance metrics, and more.

Khoros has incorporated this feature into the community repository so that you may continually update and add to your community's script library via Git. Find out more in Configurable Page Scripts.
