Chapter 5 Browsing the Repository via the Web

Creating a repository user

You can create users from the Users and Groups screen.

Steps To create a repository user:

  1. Click the Users and Groups tab and click on Users on the left of the screen to display the list of users.
  2. Click the New button, select to create a local or remote user, and enter a login name.

    Note   Remote users and groups
    Remote users and groups are those stored on the LDAP security server. If a remote user is created, we delegate to the LDAP server for user authentication. If a remote group is created, and has repository rights assigned to it, all its members will inherit these rights. Note that although remote users and groups can be added to local groups, local users and groups cannot be added to remote groups.

  3. [optional] Enter a full name, password, email, and description for the user. An email address is required if the user is to receive change notifications.
  4. [optional] Click the Parent Groups tab and add the user to any appropriate groups (see Adding a member to a group from the member's property sheet)
  5. [optional] Click the Rights tab and assign the user any appropriate rights (see Granting rights to users and groups)
  6. Click the Save button to create the user and return to the list of users.

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, or directly. If a user connects to the repository without access rights, he cannot see any document in the browser.
