This topic describes how to add a user profile to the Access Control view.
By adding a user and
assigning a role, we enable, limit, or disable access to a remote server for
this new user. Permissions can be added to or removed from the role, thereby modifying
the extent of server functionality the new user has access to. All steps take place
from the Access Control view within the Admin Console. Only users with a specific Access Control permission (Add/Modify/Delete Users,
Roles, and LDAP Profiles) can
perform this process.
-
From the User area, click the Add button
to make the
New User screen appear.
-
Enter a unique User ID (required) and Name (optional). It will be this User ID
that the new user logs in with when connecting to a remote server from the
Studio's Server Environment toolbar.
-
Select one of the two available password options; use available radio buttons
to either manually enter a password or have one generated. If selecting the
latter, a new temporary password screen appears.
You have ability to copy the password to a clipboard.
This makes it easy to provide the user with the new password, such as
through e-mail, etc. As this is a system-generated temporary password, users
may want to immediately change their temporary password to something easier
to remember or per your Company's policy. Note:
If you do not copy, you must record the new password before clicking
OK, as it will not be displayed again.
-
After clicking OK, the new user should now appear in the Users
area.
-
Select the new user so that the User ID and Name, if provided, are displayed in
the User Details area. The Roles section in this area appears empty, as
all newly created users have no roles or permissions by default.
-
From the Roles area, click the Add button to make the
Select Roles screen appear.
Three default roles will be available:
admin,
superuser, and
user. (If you've created other roles, these too will be
displayed).
Note: admin and
superuser roles have assigned
security
permissions, while
user, by default, has none. If you
select
user, you may need to add security permissions in order to
access server functionality. Once selected, the role now displays in the
area.
