Create a new enterprise user

If Visual Modeler is integrated with a single sign-on system, ensure that you synchronize the enterprise user profile in Visual Modeler with the user profile in the single sign-on system.

About this task

When the enterprise user accesses Visual Modeler from another application, such as Sterling™ Business Center, a unique identifier, such as the TokenID, is passed from the single sign-on system to the Visual Modeler. The user profile is retrieved from the single sign-on system, and the user is allowed access to Visual Modeler from the other application.
Note: Full synchronization can be automated in a number of different ways, such as using a third “master system” to push user information to both systems as it is created in the master system, or by ensuring that the single sign-on system pushes data to the Visual Modeler as it is created in the single sign-on system.
