User/Role Management

Users with the admin role are able to manage users. The User Management pages are accessed from the Manage Users link on the User menu on the top navigation bar.

A table shows the current users within the system.

Users

Creating Users

New users are created by clicking on the Create tab heading on the Users table. A form is provided for you to enter the details of the new user.

Type

Possible values for User Type: LDAP User| Local User.

To access the system using LDAP users, they must be created in Assure  first. Once created they can login with the LDAP credentials. The following settings needs to be configured in Productivity Tools Cluster settings of the TSS console .

application.assure.ldap.server.address=<ldap server address>

application.assure.ldap.search.base=<ldap search base>

If you want to use only LDAP users, the local users in Assure needs to be disabled, add the below setting in the Productivity Tools Cluster settings on the TSS console :

application.assure.disable.local.user.login=True
