3. Click the
button above the list of users. 4. In the Add User dialog box, click Create a New User.
5. Enter the user ID, user’s first and last name, and email address in the respective boxes.

To allow access to particular
ActiveTransfer Server ports, select
Select Servers and select one or more ports.
9. Click Add New User to Selection.
Note: | The user information boxes must be populated to enable this button. You can continue to add more users to this selection. To delete any user that you have added to the selection, click the X button next to the user name. |
10. Click OK.
ActiveTransfer Server creates an ActiveTransfer profile for the user and lists the user on the Users page.
Tip: | To delete a user, select the user and click ![](../b2b-integration-compendium/images/minus_button.png) . This action does not delete the user from the system directory or from the external directory service. Rather, it removes the association between the user and ActiveTransfer. |
11. If you want to send an email to the user containing the user’s login credentials and the URL of the ActiveTransfer Server the user will be logging in to, click Send at the bottom of the user’s User Details tab.
Note: | ActiveTransfer Server sends emails by way of the SMTP server configured in webMethods Integration Server. For information about the SMTP server configuration, see webMethods Integration Server Administrator’s Guide . |
