Adding a User

Every User of a Library should have their own user account:

• For security and auditing reasons, and
• Because many of a User's settings and preferences are stored against a user account, so if Users share an account their preferences may change unexpectedly.

Important: If you are updating an existing library to use Active Directory Groups, you will need to map the existing users to the correct Active Directory Users. Ensure you map the user before you map the group.

To Add a User:

1. From the main menu, choose Security > User and Group Accounts.... The User and Group Accounts window opens, select the Users tab.

   

2. Choose New. In the User Name window enter the name of the new User, and choose OK.

   

   The window closes and your new User is added to the User drop-down list.

   Active Directory User field: If you are updating a library to use Active Directory Groups you need to map the existing user to the Active Directory User. If you are adding a new user leave the field blank.

3. Specify which Group/s the new User belongs to.
4. Choose Apply to save the new User's account.
5. Repeat Steps 2 to 4 for each new User, then choose the OK button to close the window.
