Adding users to IBM® Maximo® EAM SaaS

In the Administration Work Center, you can complete tasks for managing users. As an administrator, you can add users, define and allocate skills to each user, and assign users to person groups that you create.

Before you can access the Administration Work Center, you must be assigned to the MAXADMIN security group. Users assigned to the MAXADMIN security group can create users and groups. The default administrative user ID is maxadmin.

The People page of the Administration Work Center organizes your activities into three main pages: Users, Person Groups, and Crafts.

Users

The Users page displays a card for each user in the system. From here, you can create new users, delete existing users, or modify details for an existing user. When you create a user in the system, an email is sent to the person who is associated with that user ID. This recipient must accept the invitation before they can be added to the system. After the user is successfully created in the system, a user seat license is allocated to that user.

Person Groups

The Person Group page displays a card for each Person Group that is defined in the system. You organize people into groups to assign a team to a particular task, for example, a work order.

Crafts

The Crafts page displays a table that has entries for skills that can be assigned to users. From here, you can create new crafts, delete existing crafts, or modify the details for an existing craft. When you define a craft, you can also associate a standard service rate that is charged for that service.
