Creating security principals on Windows

To create security principals, use the security wizard to create local groups, then add new or existing users to those groups. The wizard also adds the selected user to the mqm group, if present, and the Administrators group. If you have not run the security wizard, you must create the security groups before you run the Getting Started wizard.

  1. Launch the security wizard from the Start menu.
  2. The Welcome panel explains what the wizard is about to do and lists the local groups that it will create. Click Next to continue.

    The groups are created at this point and this could take a few seconds. If the groups have already been created, the wizard proceeds to the next panel immediately.

  3. The User Select and Create panel allows you to select an existing user from the drop-down list or create a new user by entering a user name. If you create a new user, you must also create a password. Click Next to continue.

    The selected user is added to all groups or the new user is created and added to all groups.

  4. The Complete panel confirms the list of user groups that have been created and the list of users that have been added to those groups. Click Finish.

    Any number of users can be added to the groups. To add more users, relaunch the wizard from the Start menu and repeat the steps above.
