Working with user management

To display the User Management dialog.

Users can be authenticated (when logging on, or connecting to a database alias) by different systems. By default, these are Basic authentication and Windows authentication. Windows users and groups must be registered. On the Users and Groups tab you can create or register both types of user.

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

On the Basic Groups tab you create groups and assign users of either authentication type 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 one or more Basic groups and to one or more user management Roles. These assignments can all be made through the Users and Groups tab of the User Management dialog, or they can be made on the individual tabs; Basic Groups and User Management Roles.
