Creating User Accounts

To create a User Account:

1.

Log in to the Administration Tool using the Configure-role account created when you first installed GridServer, or any other account with access to the User Manage feature.

2.

Go to Admin > User Admin > User Admin.

3.

Select Create New User from the Actions list. The New User Information page appears.

4.

Enter the User Name, a password, and confirm the password. Credentials entered here are case sensitive. If you also use Active Directory which is case-insensitive, matching credential syntax is recommended.

5.

If using built-in authorization, in the Security Roles list, assign one or more roles by selecting the role name in the left list, then clicking the >> button. If multiple roles are selected, the account can access features specified in all roles.

6.

You can also optionally enter a first and last name, and an E-mail address for notifications.

7.

When finished entering the user information, click Save.

GridServer sends a notification E-mail to the address provided in the new account, provided that an SMTP host is set in the Manager’s configuration. You can customize the templates used for the subject and body of these messages by selecting Edit Email Notification Template from the Actions list on the User Admin page.
