Administration of user accounts
Management of user accounts is exclusively the responsibility of ADMIN and SUPERUSER roles. Only for those users, the “Administration” section will be visible on the left main menu. System administrator (ADMIN) has permission to view, add and modify all users regardless of their organization; whereas the SUPERUSER role has permission to manage only users under his/hers national/regional association.
General information about user roles and permissions, as well as standard procedures for manipulating data records in the system, have already been described in this document. Please refer to the following sections:
- User roles and permissions (See 3.2)
- User settings (See 3.5)
- Add new user (See 3.6.1)
- Search for user (See 3.6.2)
- Modify user’s data (See 3.6.3)
- Change user’s status (See 3.6.6)
Create a new user
This information will be relevant only for SUPERUSERS of each organization. SUPERUSERS are responsible for creating new user accounts and assigning roles for each person who will have access to the COMET system.
In the Administration area, choose to create a “New User”. The data entry screen allows you to input basic identification and contact information for this person, and most importantly, it allows you to select user roles. Here is a list and a brief explanation of each available role:
- Superuser of the Organization: Has permission to perform all actions in the system, has access to confidential information as well as public information. Superuser has the ability to enter, modify and delete data records in his domain.

Users with this role have the ability to enter/edit information about the matches in which they participate.

The User Creator, which is at the same time the Administrator of Players, can create new players in the system.
Change user password
It may be required to generate new random password for an existing user. This is done in Edit user mode by clicking on “Change password” button (see Selection A). The system will ask the user for a final confirmation before deleting the old password, generating a new one and sending an email notification to the user. Remember that each user must have a valid and unique email address entered in the system. Example of e-mail notification is below:
Dear Juan Carlos Rivera, Your new password for COMET LATAM is qgC5gvptg. Respectfully, Your ANALYTICOM Support Team
Deleting users
Deleting user records is not possible from inside the application. However, the same effect is achieved by changing the user status to INACTIVE. This is also done in Edit mode by clicking on the “Deactivate” button (see Selection B).
ID Card Templates
Identification cards of Players, Coaches or any other registered person, can be printed directly out of COMET onto a PVC plastic format (standard dimensions of a credit card). These ID cards may incorporate a Barcode, a QR code or even RFID for purpose of retrieving data, and authenticating the owner of the ID card. QR code, which is essentially a two-dimensional barcode, is most widely used because it has greater storage capacity then the standard UPC barcode and it can be easily read by any smart phone. This is a simple and accessible method for officials to scan the card of an individual, and check whether she/he is correctly registered, has any active suspensions, etc. Design of the cards is entirely in the hands of the association, as long as the dimensions remain standard. Printed information is retrieved from the database, and the positioning needs to be arranged with the COMET engineers. The system allows upload of multiple templates specific to an association and/or type of registration, or even specific to a competition. However, it is also possible to use one standard template for all ID cards printed from the system.
There are two ways to print the PVC card:
- Offset printing of the card, then person’s info & photo from COMET - In this case, you would print the design on the cards in advance, leaving blank areas for printing person specific information. Offset printing is much better quality and it makes great financial sense when cards are done in bulk. For this option, user does NOT need to upload any card design images into the system.
- Complete printing of card design & person’s information from COMET - For this option, SUPERUSER of the association needs to upload the foreground and background images of the card design into the system. COMET will accept most standard image files, such as .jpg, .png, .tif, etc. It is important that they are of good quality & appropriate size (864 x 564 pix).
The system allows the SUPERUSER of the association to create the templates for these cards and upload foreground and background images of the design. This function is access through the Administration section of the main menu, by selecting “ID Cards Templates”. At the bottom section of the screen, you may Save a new template type for an organization, a competition and any registration type. Once the template is created, then the appropriate design images can be uploaded using the upload “tool” on the right. If the template is no longer valid, it can be deactivated when necessary.
Merging person profiles
Merging person profiles regardless of their role (Players, Coaches, Staff, Referees etc.)
!!! Caution! After you execute the merge it can't be undone. You are responsible for any data loss if you don’t transfer it from the player that will be deleted after the merge. Some information is automatically transferred like User, Invoice etc. but for all the data that is shown in the merge console, you are responsible to transfer it to the correct person that remains in the system after the merge.!!!
There are two possible cases of duplicated person profiles. In one case it can be that the duplicate doesn’t contain any useful information and can be deleted and the other were some data needs to be transferred from the profile that will be deleted to the profile that remains.
One person can be deleted
If one of profile can be removed without keeping any data, you can delete it from system. To do that you would click on Edit on the person profile form and click on 'Delete' button.
System will perform check and if the profile can be removed without losing any essential data, it will be deleted.
Merge is needed to resolve the duplicate
In most of the cases, there will always be some useful information that needs to be transferred from the profile that will be deleted to the remaining one. For this purpose, you would use Merge person profile console located in the Administration menu.
On the first page, you need to enter two COMET IDs of person profiles you’d like to merge. In general, the first one will be the one that will remain in the system after the merge, and the second one will be deleted. However, during the merge process, you can switch them at any time.
After entering two COMET IDs and clicking on “Merge” button the merge console will open up. On the left side you will see the person profile that will remain after the merge and on the right, the one that will be deleted after the merge. Profiles can be switched on click on two arrows icon marked below. Name fields, if there are more than one, the first one is always First name/Family name and others follow (Additional first name / Preferred name / Middle name etc..). Content of fields can be copy/pasted from the profile that will be deleted to the Result profile.
For moving registrations, contracts, contacts and documents, between person profiles, there is a small arrow. By clicking on the arrow, the registration is moved to the other profile. If you click on arrow on profile that will be deleted, it will be moved to the Result profile and vice versa. Whatever data is remained on Merging person will be deleted after the merge is completed.
After all data that is useful is transferred to the Result profile, with “Merge” button you complete the merge process.
!!!Pay attention when doing it, since the process is irreversible. There is no Unmerge option. All data that was left on the profile that will be deleted, will be irreversibly deleted from the system!!!
IMPORTANT NOTE
If you try to merge profiles by leaving registrations that contain appearances on a match, the system will not let you do it. You can see such registrations marked with big exclamation mark next to the arrow for transfer (picture below) and there is a tooltip text that gives you the competition ID.
After a successful merge, you will be taken to the resulting person profile. All connected entities to the deleted profile not shown in the console will be transferred automatically to the resulting profile (users, invoices etc.).
If both profiles had active registrations and result profile after the merge has more than one active registration in same sport, it is a duty of the person executing the merge to correct statuses of registrations after the merge.
