Select Users or Groups from the Operating System User Repository

Select Users or Groups from an Active Directory or LDAP Repository

To add a user and associate with an external authentication system account

1. In CentraSite Control, go to Administration > Users > Users.

2. Click Add User.

3. In the Organization field, click the organization to which to add the user.

4. If the user will log on to CentraSite, click Associate to select the user in the external authentication system. For instructions, see Select Users or Groups from the Operating System User Repository or Select Users or Groups from an Active Directory or LDAP Repository.

Note:

You can only select 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 fields. If you provide the user’s email address, CentraSite can notify the user of certain events. You can also supply the information on the Address Information tab.

6. If you want to specify custom properties (key-value pairs) for the user, select the Object-Specific Properties profile. Click Add Property and enter the name and values for the property. The name can include letters, numbers, and underscores (_), but cannot include spaces or other special characters. You can supply a namespace for the property.

7. If an administrator has added custom attributes to the User type definition, select the Attributes profile and specify the attributes. Attributes marked with an asterisk (*) are required.
