Creating and deleting basic users

The Users and Groups tab of the User Management dialog shows all users. Each user can be expanded to display the basic groups and user management roles of which they are members.

To open the User Management dialog, see Opening the User Management dialog

To create a basic user:

  1. Display the User Management dialog .
  2. On the Users and Groups tab, click Add Users and Groupsand select Create Basic User.
    The Create Basic User dialog is displayed. It has these tabs:
    • Account Settings
    • Password
    • Password Restrictions
    • Extended Properties.
  3. On the Account Settings tab, specify a user name and a description (for example, a brief summary of the user's role).
    You can disable a user's account, force a password change and specify dates and times between which the account is active.
  4. Click the Password tab and specify a password.
    By default, the user's password cannot be the same as the user name. However, you can change this default setting on the Password Restrictions tab.
  5. On the Password Restrictions tab, specify any required restrictions on the format of passwords (for example, specify a minimum length).
  6. Optionally, enter the user's email address on the Extended Properties tab.
    New basic users are assigned to the 'Every SSO User' group and to the 'Edit Password' role. New, Windows, users are assigned to the Every SSO User group but not to any role.

    To delete a user, right-click the user on the Users and Groups tab and select Delete.
