Copy a system user

Copy an existing system user. Having more than one system user can avoid problems, if, for example, your single system user has forgotten his password.

Prerequisite

You have the User administrator function privilege.

Warning

If this user is also modeled in an organizational chart, all differing data and assignments are overwritten when the executable process is subsequently generated or the organizational chart is updated. This does not apply to LDAP users.

To prevent this, enable the attribute Consider user group association from user management.

Procedure

  1. Click User management User management. The list of users is displayed.
  2. Click the relevant user. The user data (details) is displayed.
  3. Click Copy Copy. The Copy user form opens.
  4. Enable Transfer function privileges.
  5. Enable Transfer user group associations and/or Transfer license privileges, if required.
  6. Enter the user name, first and last name, e-mail address, if applicable, and password. If no password was specified for the user, a password is automatically generated for the first login and sent to the user. After the first login, the password must be changed. If a user that already exists in the LDAP system is created, the user name must match. The e-mail address is transferred automatically. For the other specifications you can enter any characters you wish because this information will automatically be transferred from the LDAP system after the user is created.

    The user name does not necessarily have to correspond to a person's first or last name. In order to comply with the GDPR, a randomly selected character string is used, or an abbreviation of the first and/or last name.

  7. Click Save Save.

An additional system user is created. The system user has all function privileges. This user can log in to process administration, ARIS Administration, User Management, and ARIS Process Board. In ARIS Architect and ARIS Designer, this user has all access privileges for all database groups of all databases. If no password was specified for the user, a password is automatically generated for the first login and sent to the user. After the first login, the password must be changed.
