Adding a New User

It is a good idea to define user groups before creating Dominion KSX users because, when you add a user, you must assign that user to an existing user group. Refer to Adding a New User Group for more information.

From the User page, you can add new users, modify user information, and reactivate users that have been deactivated.

Note: A user name can be deactivated when the number of failed login attempts has exceeded the maximum login attempts set in the Security Settings page. Refer to Security Settings for more information.

To add a new user:

  1. Open the User page by choosing User Management > Add New User or clicking the Add button on the User List page.
  2. Type a unique name in the Username field (up to 16 characters).
  3. Type the person's full name in the Full Name field (up to 64 characters).
  4. Type a password in the Password field and retype the password in the Confirm Password field (up to 64 characters).
  5. If there is a dialback number, type it in the Dialback Number field. Dialback numbers cannot contain any of the following characters or the log on will fail when it is attempted:
  6. Choose the group from the User Group drop-down list. The list contains all groups you have created in addition to the system-supplied default groups (<Unknown> (default setting), Admin, Individual Group).

    If you do not want to associate this user with an existing User Group, select Individual Group from the drop-down list. For more information about permissions for an Individual Group, refer to Setting Permissions for an Individual Group.

  7. To activate the new user, select the Active checkbox. The default is activated (enabled).
  8. Click OK.
