Chapter 5 Administrating Repository Users

Creating a repository user

The repository administrator is responsible for creating the different users of the repository.

Each repository user has the following properties:

Property Description
Full Name Complete name of the repository user
Login Name Name used for the repository definition
Comment Additional information about the user
Email Email address of the user
Password Personal password of the user (the next field lets you confirm the password)

Note   Granting permissions to a user
When you create a user, make sure you grant him/her access permissions on the repository document either by inserting this user into a group, or directly. If a user connects to the repository without access permissions, he cannot see any document in the browser.

Steps To create a repository user:

  1. Select Repository→Users to display the List of Users dialog box.
  2. Click the Add a row tool.

    An arrow is displayed at the beginning of a blank line.
  3. Type a name in the Full Name column.
  4. Click the Apply button.
  5. Click the Properties button.

    The user property sheet is displayed.
  6. Type the user login name.
  7. Type the other properties.

    Note   User password
    You can set a blank password to a user. In this case, the field password still is displayed with 8 stars.


  8. Click OK.
