User Definition: The User Information Page

When you create a user definition, the first page of the user definition that you see is the User Information page, which is under the General section in the sidebar. This part contains the user status, names, email addresses, and password specifications.

The General information for user definition is made up of three pages: User Information, Advanced and User Groups. This topic describes what you see and can define for a user in the first of these.

What you can define

A new user is active by default, but you can change the user StatusZustand einer Aufgabe (z.B. aktiv, blockiert, in Generierung, usw.). or any information here except the user Name. To change a user name, see Renaming a User .

When you select this option, most of the fields on the page will be disabled because the data will be retrieved from the user definition in the other directory service. The only ones that you can still specify here will be: both Status options and the Email 2 box.

Selecting the LDAP connection option also activates the Synchronize data with LDAP now button. Click this to fill the fields with the user's data from the directory service. The values that are retrieved from the LDAP settings will be greyed out and the fields disabled.

For complete information about the LDAP option, see "LDAP Connection Setup" in the Authorization System section in the Administration Guide of the Automation Engine.
