Create a User

Use this procedure to create a user profile. Depending on how the Create User task is configured, you can also use this task to define additional profile elements. You can add a user to a group, or can make the user a member of an admin or provisioning role.

Follow these steps:

  1. Log in to the User Console as a user with user management tasks.

    The default User Manager role grants the appropriate tasks.

  2. Select Users, Manage Users.
  3. Select Create User or Create User with Generated Password.

    The difference between these tasks is the Create User task includes a password field. The Create User with Generated Password sends an email to the new user that requires that user to set a password.

  4. Complete the fields for the user profile information, as needed.
  5. Click Next.
  6. Complete the fields on the other tabs in the task, if applicable.

    For example, add the user to a group, or assign an admin role, provisioning role, or service to the user, if these options are available.

  7. Click Finish.

    The user is created.

If the Create User task is not configured to allow you to add groups, roles or services for the user, first create the user, then use the following procedures to complete user configuration:

Assign Groups

Assign Admin Roles

Assign Provisioning Roles
