Adding a User

Use this procedure to add a user.

Note: Super users can only add interactive users. They cannot add batch users or other super users.

To add a user

1	Click Account > User Profiles.

The User Profiles - User List page opens displaying a list of all users for the account.

2	Click New User.

The User Profile Setup and Maintenance page opens.

3	Complete the fields as described in the following table.

Field	Description
User ID	Required. Must be unique. The following guidelines are recommended: Type the first 2 letters of your company name and the last 3 numbers of the Service Order. The system allows both lowercase and uppercase letters. Add an A to the end of the first user ID. If you create more than one interactive user, add a B to the end of the second user ID, etc. Note: In the past, guidelines dictated that the letter C be used for the batch password (created by the OpenText super admin). In those cases where you want to continue with these guidelines, skip to the letter D for the third interactive user ID, E for the fourth interactive user ID, and so forth.
Network ID	Required. From the drop-down list of network IDs defined by users already created under the account, select a network ID.
User Name	Required. Type the user’s first and last name.
User Type	Required. Interactive is selected by default. Super users cannot create a batch user.
User Contact Email	Required. Type the user’s email address. This is important. If the user forgets their password and clicks the Reset Password link on the Catalogue Login page, or if the super user admin resets the user’s password, the new temporary password is sent to this email address.
User Role	Required. Select a role which determines the user’s edit and view permissions for various functional modules in their catalogue. Some of the most common roles are: Vendor_Admin - This role allows the user to download, upload, view, edit, and delete data from the catalogue. Vendor_bView - This role gives a user read-only access to the catalogue. To view the existing roles in your Catalogue account, see “Viewing Access Permissions for Role Profiles�
Default Attribute Filter	Required. Select a default attribute filter. The user can change their default filter in their account details.
User Status	Required. Active - You want the user to be active. Inactive - You do not want the user to be active.
Password Expired	Select the check box if you want to require the user to change the password when they first log in.
New Password	Type a password that contains the following: At least 10, but no more than 16 characters in length A minimum of 2 numeric characters A minimum of 2 alpha characters Both uppercase and lowercase alpha characters Special characters are allowed as follows: Characters allowed ~`!@#$%^&*()_+-={}|[ ]\:�;’,./? Characters not allowed < > Note: For more details, see “Password Requirements� .
