Create a New User

To create a new user account, complete the following steps.

  1. On the toolbar, click Access > Users.
  2. Click Create.
  3. On the Create User page, complete the User Properties section:
    • Username—make it unique and with no spaces
    • Email address—such as user@example.com
    • First Name
    • Last Name
    • Status: Select the Enabled check box.
    • If an authentication server is being used, select an Authentication Type from the list.
    • Password—although there are no password requirements, it is recommended to enter a strong 6 to 8-character password using a combination of upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols
    • If a CCA certificate is being used for authentication, select Upload to browse to the user's .crt certificate file.
  4. In the Assignment section, add the user to one or more groups.
    • Select a group from the All User Groups section, click Add to move it to the Selected User Groups section.
  5. Click Save.

If you create a user with an existing user name, you'll receive an error message: Failed while saving user. [User with username 'name of user' already exists]
