Enter the following General Information:
User ID. The
user ID is used to log on to this user account. The User ID value
can be a maximum of 128 characters and cannot include spaces or double
quotation marks ("). You can also restrict other characters from
this field. For details, see Customizing the Interface.
You can edit the User ID value after
the account is created. This is a required property.
Name. Is the description displayed
for the user account in most areas of Managed Reporting and ReportCaster.
If you have many users, you may consider a convention such as Lastname,
Firstname for values in this field. A good naming convention makes
it easier to locate users in the lists. Name is a required property.
Password/Confirm Password. You
can assign a password for the user account or leave it blank. You
can reset the password for a user at any time. Users can also reset
their own passwords from the logon page. Password/Confirm Password
is an optional property.
Email Address. An
e-mail address is required for the Report Library, but you do not
have to include it for ReportCaster scheduling without using the
Report Library.
In certain Managed
Reporting security configurations, the Name, Email Address, Password,
and Confirm Password fields are disabled because WebFOCUS cannot update
password information stored in the external authentication directory.
For example, when you are configured to authenticate to LDAP/Active
Directory, the Password and Confirm Password fields are disabled
because an Managed Reporting Administrator cannot update your authentication
directory. Additionally, when configured for LDAP/Active Directory
authentication, RDBMS authorization, and the property USER.INFO.LOOKUP
is set to 'dual', the Name and Email Address fields are also disabled
because this user information comes from your authentication directory.
Your WebFOCUS Administrator controls these settings using the WebFOCUS
Administration Console. For more information, see Managed
Reporting Security Settings in the WebFOCUS Security
and Administration manual.
Role. Is
the type of Managed Reporting user. For details on roles, see User Roles Defined.
MR
Group Authorization Managers can only assign the role of MR Group Authorization
Manager or a lower capability role.
MR Security Object Managers
cannot edit the role of an existing user. When creating a new user,
the default role is No Privileges.
Disable logon rights for this user. Prohibits
the user from logging into Managed Reporting.
