Adding a new user to the system

As a security officer you will need to know how to add new users to the system.

You might need to create new user groups for several reasons:
  • Additional departments need to use the system.
  • You discover that you need to make user groups more specific to meet your resource security needs.
  • Your company reorganized some departments.
When you need to add a new user to the system:
  1. Assign the person to a user group. Use the User Group Description worksheet for reference.
  2. Decide if the new user needs to perform system functions. If so, add that information to the System Responsibilities form.
  3. Add the person to the Individual User Profile form.
  4. Review the System Responsibilities worksheet and the User Group Description worksheet to determine if the new user needs settings that are different from those of the group.
  5. Create a user profile by copying the group profile or the profile of a group member. Be sure to set the password to expire.
  6. Give the new user a copy of your security memo.
