Add From Existing User

On the Add User page, click Add From Existing User to copy the pre-existing user definition to create a new user definition.

For users that want to be able to use TIBCO MFT Internet Server to transfer files, their user IDs must be added to the TIBCO MFT Internet Server database.

Part of the TIBCO MFT Internet Server installation process adds 5 template users automatically to the database.

By clicking Add From Existing User, a listing of those pre-existing users will be displayed. Simply click one of the user IDs to copy the pre-existing user definition to a new user definition. The new user definition will have the same available rights and contain the same optional user properties of the user ID that was selected. The only thing left to do is to create a unique user ID, add the user’s full name, and create a password. Click Add when you are finished to have the new user added to the database. You also can edit any of the pre-existing user definitions before clicking Add if you want.

As new user definitions are added more template user definitions are available to choose from.

The following table lists the default template users and their assigned rights:

The Collector and ArchiveUser IDs are also added by default. These IDs are used to create server credentials for the servers that will also have the enabled collection and archive option. There are no rights given to these IDs.

If you do not want to use any of the template user definitions available to you, a new user definition can be created manually.
