Chapter 5 Repository Administration

Creating a repository user

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

Steps To create a repository user:

  1. Select Repository→Users to open the List of Users.
  2. Click the Add a row tool, and type a name in the Full Name column.
  3. Click the Properties button to open the property sheet of the user:
  4. Enter the user login name and any other properties. The password is blank by default, and it is not necessary to set one at this time, but the password fields display eight stars.
  5. Click OK.

Each repository user has the following properties:

Property Description
Full Name Specifies the real name of the user.
Login Name Specifies the name used for logging in to the repository.
Comment Specifies any additional information about the user
Email Specifies the email address of the user
Password Specifies the 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 rights on the repository document either by inserting this user into a group (see Inserting a user into a group), or directly (see Specifying a user's rights). If a user connects to the repository without access rights, he cannot see any document in the browser.
