Adding a user account

Adding a user account is necessary to provide users with the ability to connect to Access Server and log into Management Console. When adding a user account, you must specify a unique user name. When setting a password for the user, it must meet any complex password requirements you may have set in Management Console.

1. Ensure that you are a system administrator and have the privileges to manage datastores and user accounts.
2. Click Access Manager > User Management.
3. Click File > Access Server > New User.
4. Enter the name of the user in the Name box.

   This is the name the user will need to supply when connecting to Access Server and logging into Management Console.

5. If you want to keep a profile of the user for system administrator purposes, type their full name and a description in the Full Name and Description boxes.
6. If you want the user to specify a password, enter and confirm it in the Password and Confirm Password boxes.

   If you have enabled complex passwords, then you must specify a password that meets the requirements.

7. If you want to assign the user to a role, choose one of the following:

   System Administrator

   Specifies that users assigned to this role can perform all available operations in Management Console. Only users that require full operational access to the Monitoring, Configuration and Access Manager perspectives should be assigned to this role. System Administrators can also modify system parameters to calibrate their replication environment.

   Enable user account and datastore administration

   Enables a user assigned the System Administrator role access to the Access Manager perspective. If you enable this option for a user, then they can create users and datastores, as well as define Access Server password settings. This option is available only to the System Administrator role.

   Administrator

   Specifies that users assigned to this role can access both the Monitoring and Configuration perspectives in Management Console. Administrators can create new subscriptions, can add, import and export projects, but are not able to access the Access Manager perspective, and cannot add or edit users or datastores. Administrators can start and end replication.

   Operator

   Specifies that users assigned to this role can access both the Monitoring and Configuration perspectives in Management Console. Operators can add, import and export projects, but they cannot create new subscriptions. Users assigned to the Operator role can start, stop, and monitor replication activities. They can also view the tables selected for refresh and start a refresh on a subscription. Operators can view notifications sent by subscriptions or datastores. However, users assigned to this role cannot configure replication and select or remove tables from a refresh.

   Monitor

   Specifies that users assigned to this role only have access to the Monitoring perspective in Management Console. Users assigned to the Monitor role can view events and statistics. Monitors can view the replication state and status of a subscription and can view latency threshold information. However, users assigned to this role cannot start or stop replication, configure replication, refresh tables, or view notifications sent by subscriptions and datastores.
