Add User (Users Database Only)

On some occasions you may need to add a new user to the User Database but do not want to import data using the import process provided by the client tools. This may arise in the case where you want to add a single user only. The client tools provide you with the means to manually add users and their details to the Users database.

User details include the following mandatory and default fields:

Field

Description

User ID

CA GovernanceMinder automatically assigns the new usera User ID. This is a key field. It is a non-modifiable field and is grayed out.

Person ID

Person ID should correspond to the format of other users in the User Database. Person ID is a key field together with the User ID. Its length can be a maximum of 128 characters. Subsequently, if the user record has to be edited in the Edit User - User Database window, this record will be grayed out.

User Name

An optional 128 character text field. This field is provided by default and includes critical data.

Organization

An optional 128 character text field. This field is provided by default and includes critical data.

Organization Type

This field is provided by default and includes critical data.

All other fields are optional 128 character text fields and appear as a consequence of the Database definitions that were set when the Database was first created.
