Creating and Editing User Account

To create a user account:

Click the User button on the toolbar.
Select the Create User item in the drop-down menu of the User button on the toolbar.

After executing one of the operations the Properties side panel opens. Set properties of the user being created.

The system may also require credentials of the user who has user administration permissions on DBMS server and also credentials required for granting repository object permissions. If a user is created in the repository based on PostgreSQL DBMS, the administrator should have the CREATEROLE privilege on the DBMS level.

NOTE. When roles of the information security administrator and the application administrator are separated, only the application administrator can create new users. The Properties side panel will display only the General Properties tab, the rest of the tabs are available only for the information security administrator.

To edit user account, select the user. The Properties side panel opens. Change user properties that were specified during account creation.

To change properties during user account creation and editing, use the General Properties tab on the Properties side panel:

Separating Roles between Administrators

When roles of the information security administrator (ISA) and the application administrator (AA) are separated, the Member of Groups, Mandatory Access Control, Security Levels, Access Control tabs will be available only to the ISA.

When the information security administrator does not have permissions to update users, after changing the user group or the list of privilege holders the system displays a message that the changes will be applied only after the user is updated. To update users, contact the application administrator.

NOTE. Holders of the Applying User Permissions at DBMS Level privilege are determined during role separation.
