Creating and deleting basic users

The Users and Groups tab shows all users. Each can be expanded to show the Basic groups and user management roles of which they are a member. The Assign to Basic Groups and Assign User Management Roles buttons let you assign users to groups and roles.

To create a basic user:

  1. Click Add Users and Groups.
  2. Select Create Basic User.
  3. Enter a user name and description (for example, a brief summary of the user's role). You can use the check boxes to disable a user account, to force a user to change password and to specify the dates and times between which the account is active.
  4. Enter the user password on the Password tab.
  5. The Password Restrictions tab lets you impose restrictions on the format of passwords (for example, to specify a minimum length).
  6. Optionally, enter the user's email address on the Extended Properties tab.
    By default, Basic users are assigned to the Basic group, Every SSO User and to the Edit Password user management role.

    See Administering permissions and predefined roles, groups and users.

    New Windows users are assigned to the Every SSO User group but not to any user management role.

    To delete a user, right-click the user and select Remove or click Remove on the toolbar.
