Creating Internal Users

The Emptoris® Strategic Supply Management Platform administrators and internal user administrators can create and manage users. Administrator rights can be assigned to users of each application, enabling them to perform the relevant functions within their application. A system administrator is responsible for performing various functions in Emptoris Strategic Supply Management Platform. Internal users can be enabled for all integrated applications. Refer to the 'User Management Permission' section to review the permissions needed to create and manage internal users.

To create an internal user, complete the following steps:

1. From the Administration tab, click Users > All Users and Contacts > Create.
2. Enter the user information.
3. From the Type list, select Internal User.
4. Select the organization.
5. Enter the required data in the Phone Numbers, Email Addresses, Street Address, PO Box Address, and Miscellaneous Info sections.
6. Click Save.
   Notes:

   • From the Organization field you can associate the user with a Emptoris Virtual Supply Master organization. To associate a user with application specific organizations, see Assigning Users to Applications.
   • The Miscellaneous Info section includes fields such as Identifier, External Source name, and External Source ID required for both users and contacts. Identifiers are alpha numeric fields used to identify contacts, for multiple contacts with the same name. The Manager field is read-only and displays until the Create User form is saved.
   • The Alternate Email field is used only for information and cannot be used for sending out any emails.
   • For information about the maximum permitted characters in the fields when creating a user, see HR Batch Upload Template Formats.
