Creating New Users

In the cloud, only the tenant admin user can create new users. In a multi-environment tenant, environment administrators can also create new users for their specific environment.

Before you begin

On a physical or virtual Integration Appliance, only admin users can create new users.

Procedure

  1. In the Management Console, login as administrator.
  2. Select Security > Users and Groups.
  3. In the Users section, click New Users.
  4. In the New User window, enter a value for the following fields: Name, Display Name, Email, Password, and Confirm Password.

    It is recommended that you add the tenant name to the user name and display name.

    For example, if the tenant name is ibm.com®, then the new user name should be newuser@ibm.com. This will help you identify common user names across multiple tenants in the cloud.

  5. Optional: Clear the Hide Password Text checkbox. If you clear this option, the password you entered displays and is no longer encrypted.
  6. In the Groups list, select all the groups to which the new user will have access.
  7. Optional: Clear the Active checkbox. If you clear this option, the user cannot log in to the Management Console.
  8. Cloud only: From the Libraries Environment list, select the environment from which the user's projects can retrieve additional libraries and files for endpoints. The environment you select should match the environment of the primary group the user is a member of. For example: If you select the Development environment as the Libraries Environment, you should be a member of groups in the Development environment.
  9. Click Save.

Results

In the Users section of the Users and Groups page, the new user displays in alphabetical order.
