Creating a user account

When you create a new user account, you must assign access credentials, a user role, and a security profile to the user. User roles define what actions the user has permission to perform. Security profiles define what data the user has permission to access.

Before you begin

Before you can create a user account, you must ensure that the required user role and security profile are created.
