Creating a new user

Use the Users tool to create users accounts.
  1. Click Admin Tools, and then click Users.

    You"ll see the User Search page.

  2. Click New User.

    The New User page appears. Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are required.

  3. Complete all the required user fields.

    Field What is it?
    First Name Type the first name of the new user.
    Email Type an email address that the user will use for receiving SkyVault notification emails.
    User Name Type a user name for the new user. You can use any name but it is
    Password Type a password for the user account.
    Note: Enter a minimum of five characters otherwise you'll not be able to see the Create User button.
    Verify Password Repeat the password. Make sure that you type the same password you typed in the Password field.
  4. Add the user to existing user groups:
    1. In the search box, type the full or partial name of the desired group.

      You must enter a minimum of one (1) character. The search is not case sensitive.

    2. Click Search.
    3. In the list of returned results, click Add to the right of each group you want the user to be a part of.

      The groups appear beneath the Groups list. Click a group to remove it.

    4. Perform additional searches as necessary to locate and add more groups.
  5. In the Quota box, specify the maximum space available for this user and select the appropriate unit (GB, MB, or KB).

    This information is not required. When no quota is provided, the user has no space limitations.

    Content quotas are disabled by default. You can change the default setting by adding the following property to the SkyVault-global.properties file: system.usages.enabled=true. 

  6. Click Create User.

    Note: The create buttons are not available until you complete all the required fields. If you didn't type in matching passwords, you'll see a message to say that the password fields do not match.

    If you intend to immediately create another user, click Create and Create Another. This creates the user account specified and clears the fields without returning you to the User Search page.
