Adding users in the IBM MaaS360 Portal

MaaS360® allows you to add user accounts directly in the IBM® MaaS360 Portal or import user accounts from supported directory services.

1. From the MaaS360 Portal Home page, select Users > Directory.
   The User Directory page is displayed.
2. Click Add User.
   The Add User window is displayed.
3. Select the Basic tab, and then provide the following details:

   Option	Description
   Full Name	The name of the user.
   Username	The username for the user who accesses the MaaS360 agent.
   Domain	The domain name of your company.
   Email	The preferred email address that receives important notifications such as device enrollment requests or password reset alerts.
   Managed Apple ID	The Apple ID that is owned and managed by the organization. Administrators can manually create Managed Apple IDs for users in Apple Business Manager. The Managed Apple ID is a prerequisite for User Enrollment. The Managed Apple ID must be integrated with the user account to establish that user's identity on the device. You can always add or update the Managed Apple ID in the User Summary page later. For Apple School Manager user accounts, the Managed Apple ID is already available and automatically populates in the Managed Apple ID field in the User Summary page. Note: MaaS360 allows administrators to use the Email Address in the User Summary page as the Managed Apple ID without having to separately input the Managed Apple ID for each user. For more information, see the Managed Apple ID Settings section in Configuring user settings in the IBM MaaS360 Portal page.
   Authentication Type	MaaS360 automatically displays the default authentication type configured for the user. Note: Administrators can change this value from the drop-down list. These settings are populated from the settings that are configured in the following path: Settings > Directory and Enrollment > Directory and Authentication > User Authentication Setup.
   User Groups	Assigns an existing user group to a user.
   WorkPlace Persona Policy	Assigns an existing Persona policy to a user.
   Phone Number	The phone number of the user.
   Location	The location of the user.
   Add New Device	Select this option to enroll a device and to create a user account. A request is sent to the user to enroll a device into the IBM MaaS360 Portal in MDM or Secure Productivity Suite® (SPS) mode.
   Enroll using Android Enterprise	Enrolls an Android device in Android Enterprise mode. Device Account: Allows one device enrollment for a user. User Account: Allows multiple device enrollments for a user.
   License	The license type that you want to assign to a device. All license types that are available for the customer account are listed. Administrators can assign more than one license to a device. For more information, see Assigning and managing licenses on devices. Note: Licenses in Suspended state wont be available for selection. For customers with a single license bundle, the license value is auto-populated by default and cannot be changed. If the license is in Suspended state, no license will be available for selection to enroll devices, and an error message will be displayed to indicate the same.
   Notify User	The preferred notification channel to receive important updates related to enrolled devices.
   Copy Email	A comma-separated list of email addresses that receive a copy of the enrollment request and other important notifications.

   Compliance Rule Set	The compliance rules that are enforced on the device after enrollment.
   Monthly Data Plan	The monthly data plan that tracks mobile data usage in a billing cycle. The plans are defined and managed in the Expense workflow.
   Device Ownership	The ownership of the device. Select one of the following options: Corporate: Your organization owns and manages the device. Corporate Shared: A company-owned device that is shared across multiple users. When a user signs in to the MaaS360 app with the corporate or MaaS360 credentials, the level of access to data, apps, and features is based on the group evaluation.
