Adding an Individual User to CentraSite
Use the following procedure to add an individual user to an organization and optionally associate that user with an account in the external authentication system.
To add an individual user to CentraSite
1. In CentraSite Control, go to Administration > Users > Users.
2. Click Add User.
3. In the Organization field, specify the organization to which you want to add the user. (The drop-down list only displays organizations for which you have Manage Users permission.)
4. Click Associate to select the user that you want to add from the external authentication system. (Skip this step if the user you are adding to CentraSite represents an individual that will not log on to CentraSite).
Note that you can only search for users that are stored in the same repository as the user who is logged into CentraSite Control and is performing the current operation. For example, if your system has both internal users and LDAP users, an internal user cannot search for users that are stored in the LDAP repository.
5. Complete the following fields as necessary. (If you selected the user from an Active Directory or LDAP system, many of these fields will already be populated.)
In this field... | Do the following... |
First Name | Specify the first name of the user. |
Middle Name | Optional. Specify the middle name of the user. |
Last Name | Specify the last name of the user. |
E-mail Address | Optional. Specify the user's e-mail address. Note: | Including an email address for a user makes it possible for CentraSite to notify the user of certain events using email. |
|
6. On the Address Information tab, specify the following:
In this panel... | Do the following... |
Address | Optional. Specify the user's address information. |
Contact | Optional. Specify the phone and fax numbers for the user. You can specify multiple phone and fax numbers. |
7. If you have any custom properties (key-value pairs) that you want to specify for the user, select the Object-Specific Properties profile and specify the key-value pairs as follows:
a. Click the Add Property button.
b. In the Add Object-Specific Properties dialog box, enter the name of the property and value for the property. You can add multiple values for a single property.
The name of the property can consist of letters, numbers and the underscore character (_). It cannot contain a space or other special characters.
You can optionally supply a namespace for the property.
c. Click OK.
8. If an administrator has added custom attributes to the User type definition, select the Attributes profile and specify the attributes as necessary. Attributes that are marked with an asterisk (*) are required. You must at least specify all required attributes.
Note: | You will see the Attributes profile only if an administrator has added custom attributes to the User type definition. |
9. Click Save to save the new user.
10. Update the Groups profile as necessary to add the user to additional groups. For procedures, see Adding a User to a Group. 11. Update the Roles profile as necessary to assign additional roles to the user. For procedures, see Assigning Roles to a User.
