Creating a user account

To create a user account:

1.On the Users page in the System Management Console, click on Create User Account.

2.In the Create User Account panel:

oOptionally, deselect the Enable account option to have the user account initially disabled.

oIn the Username field, type a unique login name for the user account. Usernames must be from one through 64 characters long and can contain any valid UTF-8 characters but cannot start with an opening square bracket ([). White space is allowed.

Usernames are not case sensitive.

You can reuse usernames that are not currently in use. So, for example, if you delete the account for a user, you can create a new account for that user with the same username as before.

Tip: Consider using email addresses as usernames. This enables users to more easily remember their HCP usernames. It also gives you easy access to email addresses should you need to contact any users.

oIn the Full Name field, type the name of the person for whom you’re creating the user account. This name must be from one through 64 characters long and can contain any valid UTF-8 characters, including white space.

oFor the Authentication option, select either Local or, for remote authentication, RADIUS.

If you select Local, the panel displays the Password and Confirm Password fields and Force change on next login option. If you select RADIUS, these fields are hidden.

For local authentication:

In the Password field, type a password for the user account. Passwords can be up to 64 characters long, can contain any valid UTF-8 characters, including white space, and are case sensitive.

To be valid, a password must include at least one character from two of these three groups: alphabetic, numeric, and other.

The minimum length for passwords is system specific. Typically, it’s six or eight characters. For information on changing the minimum length for passwords, see Changing user account and login settings.

Note: HCP does not save passwords in a recoverable format. If a user forgets his or her password, you need to assign a new one.

In the Confirm Password field, type the password again.

Optionally, select the Force change on next login option.

When this option is selected, the next time a user uses the account to log into the System Management or Search Console, as permitted, the Console automatically displays the Change Password page. The user cannot do anything else in the Console until the password is changed.

Once the user changes the password, the Force change on next login option is automatically deselected.

oIn the Roles section, select any number of roles for the user account, including none. For descriptions of the available roles, see Roles and permissions.

oOptionally, specify a description for the user account:

1.Click on Description.

2.In the Description field, type a description of the user account. This text can be up to 1,024 characters long and can contain any valid UTF-8 characters, including white space.

3.Click on the Create User Account button.
