Adding or updating a user

About this task

For the Data Distribution feature, the Add a User window allows you to add a user to the Users section of the data distribution file; the Update a User window allows you to update the user.

To add a user, you must have access permission to the user.

Only the users identified in a data distribution file can log on to the local server. To access documents stored in a data distribution image, users must have established folder and application group permissions on the library server. If a user obtains permissions from a group, you must add the group to the Groups section of a data distribution file.

Here are some options and commands that you can use:

User ID
The name of the Content Manager OnDemand user to add. Select a name from the list of users defined on the library server. After you add the user to the data distribution file, you cannot change the User ID.
Password
The password used to log on to the local server. The password is optional, but highly recommended.
OK
Add or update the user and close the User window.
Cancel
Close the User window and not add or update the user.
Help
Open the online help for the User window.
