User migration

You can create new users in IBM® Maximo® Application Suite users or migrate from Maximo Asset Management.

Migrated users

Users are migrated to Maximo Application Suite from IBM Maximo Asset Management during the upgrade.

Users are created with the Set in Manage access type. The user access is managed in the IBM Maximo Manage application by using security groups. For more information, see Configuring security groups.

If SMTP is configured, the migrated users receive the following emails:
  • Welcome to IBM Maximo Application Suite.
  • Your IBM Maximo Application Suite password.
On the Users page, you can replace passwords in edit mode by using the Replace forgotten password link. A MAXADMIN user is created by default. User authorization or application access is done in the Maximo Manage application by using security groups. .
