To add a new domain user

Use this procedure to create a Domain user who will use login authentication from the Active Directory server (LDAP).

  1. Select User Management in the Administration menu.
  2. Select Users > Add New on the User Management page.

    The Add New User page appears.

  3. Select Domain check box.
    Note: 

    Domain check box is available only in SIM Standalone and when system is connected to LDAP.

  4. Specify this information to create a new user and assign the new user to a group:
    User ID

    Specify a user ID.

    Note: 

    The user ID field accepts alphanumeric characters only. The name you enter here should match to the user ID in the LDAP or Active Directory server.

    First Name

    Specify the first name of the new user.

    Note: 

    If the entered User ID has a First Name in the Active Directory, the system retrieves and displays automatically.

    Last Name

    Specify the last name of the new user.

    Note: 

    If the entered User ID has a Last Name in the Active Directory, the system retrieves and displays automatically.

    Employee ID

    Specify the employee identification number for the user.

    E-mail

    Specify a valid e-mail address for the user.

    Note: 

    If the entered User ID has an e-mail in the Active Directory, the system retrieves and displays automatically.

    Group

    Select the group to which the user is assigned.

    Note: 

    Both the password and confirm password fields are hidden since the domain user login uses the password from the Active Directory server.

  5. Assign user access to locations. For more information, see To assign user access to locations.
  6. Set the default locations for the user. For more information, see To assign locations defaults.
  7. Click Add User.
