(v23) Add Users

Add Users

The Composer system admin users or a user who has been assigned to a group with user management privileges can add users to your environment. If you use tenants to manage access to resources and data, the supplied admin user and users belonging to the Supervisor group can add users to one or more tenants during user creation as well.

When Logged In as Member of the Supervisors Group (v23.4 and Later)

Members of the Supervisors group can add new users to Composer, with the following caveats:

• The new user is not assigned to any groups. Only the supplied admin user or a user who has been assigned to a group with user management privileges can assign groups to users. If you use tenants to manage access to resources and data, a tenant admin or a user who has been assigned to a group with user management privileges can assign groups to users in the tenant.

• The Require password change switch on the Info tab is always on (set to Yes) to require users to change their password when they first log into Composer. Change to No if needed.

• If you use tenants to manage access to resources and data, new users are created in your environment with no tenant membership. Members of the Supervisors group or any system admin user can add new users to tenants as required.

When Logged In as a Supervisor (v23.3 and Earlier)

Composer account administrators, a Composer supervisor, and account users who are assigned to a group with user management privileges can add user definitions to a Composer account.

Supervisors can add new users to Composer, with the following caveats:

• The user is not assigned to any groups. Supervisors cannot specify or change a user's group assignments. Only an administrator of the account or a user who has been assigned to an account group with user management privileges can assign groups to users in the account.

• When a supervisor creates a new user, the Require password change switch on the Info tab is always on (set to Yes) and cannot be altered. New users created by a supervisor are required to change their password when they first log into Composer.

• After a new user has been created, supervisors cannot reset or change the user password. Only administrators or a users who have been assigned to a group with user management privileges can reset or change user passwords.

  Note: The default supervisor user is no longer installed; add users to the Supervisors group instead.
