Create Users

00:06

The next task in the workflow is creating users.

00:11

In order to create users, you will need to log in as an administrator

00:16

in the Tools menu,

00:17

select Administration of using the Autodesk Data Management Server Console.

00:22

If using the Vault client

00:24

select Tools > Administration > Global Settings.

00:30

In the Global Settings dialog, select Manage Users as shown.

00:36

To add a new user in the User Management dialog box,

00:40

click the New User button.

00:44

Now the New User dialog boxes filled out with values for First Name, Last Name,

00:49

User name, Email and Password.

00:52

Remember to select the Enable User checkbox to ensure the user is made available.

00:57

You can also select Roles, Vaults and Groups for a user.

01:01

Later in the module, you will learn how to create groups.

01:05

If a user belongs to a group,

01:07

they will take on the group's roles and Vault access permissions.

01:12

By assigning users to groups

01:14

and then granting folder membership to those groups,

01:17

you can easily manage users and their access to Vault folders.

01:21

This is the best practice for creating a Vault security model.

01:25

Note that users cannot be deleted but you can disable an account

01:29

so a user can no longer log in to the Vault.

01:33

Note that starting in version 2022

01:36

there are some user interface changes.

01:39

Instead of Manage Users and clicking on New User,

01:42

you select Manage Access then New in the Users tab.

01:47

The New User profile dialog displays for you to enter the required information.

01:52

Note that through the Accounts button,

01:53

you specify either Windows Authentication,

01:56

Vault account or Autodesk ID.

02:02

In this demonstration we create a new user account Using the ADMS Console.

02:07

We select Tools,

02:09

Administration, then Manage Users.

02:13

After clicking the New User button, the New User dialog boxes filled out.

02:19

Note that as mentioned,

02:20

there have been user interface changes starting in version 2022.
