Adding a New User

It is a good idea to define user groups before creating KX III users because, when you add a user, you must assign that user to an existing user group. See Adding a New User Group.

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. See Security Settings.

  1. Select User Management > Add New User or click Add 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. Choose the group from the User Group drop-down list.

    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, see Setting Permissions for an Individual Group.

  6. To activate the new user, leave the Active checkbox selected. Click OK.
