Adding Users
Before a user can access and use My webMethods, you must either add the user to the internal system directory service or configure My webMethods Server to use the external directory service where the user is defined. For more information about configuring an external directory service, see Managing External Directory Services. The following procedure describes how to add a user to the internal system directory service.
Note:
When a My webMethods Administrator adds a new system user, that user is automatically added to the My webMethods Users role. When a system administrator adds a new user, that user is not automatically added to the My webMethods Users role.
*To add a user
1. To navigate to the correct page, do one of the following:
*In My webMethods: Navigate > Applications > Administration > System-Wide > User Management > Users > Add User.
*As system administrator: Administration Dashboard > User Management > Manage Users > Add User.
2. Fill in the following fields for the user you want to add to the internal system directory service:
The following table lists the required and optional fields to configure when adding a new user to the system directory service:
Field
Description
User ID
The user ID that you want to assign to the user you are adding. My webMethods Server uses the user ID when forming the distinguished name (DN) for the user.
The user ID can be 1 through 226 characters and can contain only alphanumeric ASCII characters with no spaces. The user ID is not case sensitive.
Note:
My webMethods Server adds the user ID to the internal system directory service using the case you specify. My webMethods Server typically regards user IDs as case‑insensitive; however, My webMethods Server uses the case you specify for actions that are case‑sensitive, for example, HTTP authentication.
Password
The password for the new user.
Confirm Password
The same password you specified in the Password field.
First Name
The first name of the user you are adding. My webMethods Server uses the user’s first and last name when displaying the user’s name on pages in the user interface.
Last Name
The last name of the user you are adding.
E-mail Address
(Optional) The email address for the user you are adding. My webMethods Server uses the email address when it needs to send a notification to the user by means of an email message.
