Working with user management

There are different systems for authenticating users when they log on, or connect to a database alias. By default, the systems offered are Basic authentication and Windows authentication. Windows users and groups have to be registered. On the Users and Groups tab of the User Management dialog, you can create or register both types of user.

To add users and groups from external authentication types (for example, LDAP) the authentication system must be registered in the Infor BI Repository Administration console.

• On the Users and Groups tab, you create users under the Basic authentication method or register users and groups of any registered authentication system (for example, Windows). Users are created as members of the Every SSO User group and the Edit Password role. You assign users to further basic groups and user management roles by using the Assign to Basic Groups and Assign User Management Roles buttons.
• On the Basic Groups tab you create groups and assign users of the authentication system to them.
• On the User Management Roles tab you assign roles to users and groups that are required to administer the User Management and the users. You cannot create or edit user management roles.

Basic users, Windows users, and groups of Windows users can be assigned to Basic groups and user management roles. Make these assignments on the Users and Groups tab of the User Management dialog, or on the Basic Groups or User Management Roles tabs.
