Adding Users

You can delete users from the Users page in IBM® webMethods Cloud Container. If you have created Users U1, U2, and U3 in IBM webMethods iPaaS, the first time U1 logs in to IBM webMethods Cloud Container, user U1 will be created in IBM webMethods Cloud Container. Now if U1 is deleted from IBM webMethods iPaaS but still exists in IBM webMethods Cloud Container, U1 will not be able to log in to IBM webMethods Cloud Container. If U1 is deleted from IBM webMethods Cloud Container but still exists in IBM webMethods iPaaS, U1 will be created in IBM webMethods Cloud Container when you again log in to IBM webMethods Cloud Container.

Note: A new user is created in IBM webMethods Cloud Container when you log in for the first time using the IBM webMethods iPaaS login page with valid credentials. Roles associated with the user will be synchronized only during the first-time login to IBM webMethods Cloud Container.

If you have not created your account using the IBM webMethods iPaaS sign-up page, you can still add users in IBM webMethods Cloud Container.

  1. From the IBM webMethods Cloud Container navigation bar, go to Settings > Users.

  2. From the upper right part of the Users screen, click Add New User.

  3. On the Basic tab, complete the following fields. Required fields are marked with an asterisk on the screen.

    Field Description
    First name User's first name as it should appear in the platform.
    Last name User's last name as it should appear in the platform.
    Title User's professional title.
    Access Profile The access profile assigned to the User. Each User is assigned an access profile, which can be shared by other users. An Access Profile specifies the network locations (IP addresses) from where it is possible to login and administrative permissions.

    Select one of the following Access Profiles:

    Administrator - Provides permissions needed by the System Administrator.

    Regular User - Provides permissions that are more appropriate for normal users. By default, the system administrator can change the Administrative Permissions associated with each Access Profile (except the above mentioned Administrator Access Profile), and can add additional Access Profiles, as needed.

    Note:

    By default, the Administrator and Regular User access profiles are associated with the Environment Management. If you have created a new access profile, ensure that the access profile you have created is associated with the Environment Management.
    Employee Number Optional identification number for each employee.
    Email Email address of the user. User credentials will be sent to the specified email address. As soon as you add a new user, two different emails will be sent to the email address. One email will contain the user ID and the other email will contain the temporary password. Use the temporary password to log in. You will be asked to change your password.
    User Name User name is a unique name associated with each user and is required to log in. It can be an email address or an alphanumeric text string. If you are an IBM webMethods iPaaS user, you will not be able to update the User Name.
    Federation ID Enter the Federation ID if your Identity Provider passes the Federation ID for Single Sign-On. The Federation ID acts as a user’s authentication across multiple IT systems or organizations. A federated identity means linking a person’s electronic identity and attributes stored across multiple distinct identity management systems.

  4. On the Locale tab, complete the following fields:

    Field Description
    Time Zone Choose a Time Zone Code from the drop down list.
    Date Format Choose a Date Format from the drop down list. “mm” is “Month”, “dd” is “Day”, and “yyyy” is Year. Dates and Times are used throughout the platform, in Appointments, as Start/End Dates in Tasks, Expected Close Date, Estimated Start/End Date, Date Due, and so on. Default formats are specified under the Settings > Advanced Information tab. Administrators and Users can change the default selection in the Users screen.
    Locale This setting determines the language in which you will view the application. The value set by you here is the language applicable for your user profile, irrespective of the value set by the administrator in the Default Locale field of Company Information settings.

    For example, if you set the value in the Locale field as Chinese and the value set by the administrator in the Default Locale field of Company Information settings is English, then you will view all the application labels in the Chinese language.
    Time Format Select a 12-hour clock (hh:mm a) with AM/PM, or a 24-hour clock (HH:mm).

  5. On the Address and Contact tab, complete the following fields:

    Field Description
    Phone Primary phone number for the user.
    Mobile Phone Mobile phone number for the user.
    Fax Fax number for the user.
    Street Address Street address for the user.
    City City for the user.
    State/Province State or province for the user.
    Postal/Zip Code Postal or ZIP Code for the user.
    Country Country for the user.

  6. Click Add if you are adding a User or Apply if you are editing any User information.

    You can fill the Address and Contact section later or the Administrator can fill the details by editing the record after the User has been added. The Address and Contact screen is also available under My Profile > My Information tab.
    Note: A User can log in, and then go to My Profile > Edit to change the user details. The Administrator who created the User can also edit the User details.
