Creating users in the IBM InfoSphere Information Server console

If the IBM® InfoSphere® Information Server internal user registry is used, you can create users as the first level of security. You must create a user for each person that needs to log in to InfoSphere Information Server.

Before you begin

  • You must have IBM InfoSphere Information Analyzer or InfoSphere Information Services Director installed.
  • You must have Administrator authority.

Procedure

  1. In the IBM InfoSphere Information Server console, on the Home navigator menu, select Configuration > Users.
  2. In the Tasks pane, click New User.
  3. In the New User pane, specify information about the user. The User Name, Password, Confirm Password, First Name (Given Name), and Last Name (Family Name) fields are required.
  4. In the Suite pane, specify the rights for the user.
  5. In the Suite Component pane, select whether the user has any suite component roles. You must add at least one suite component role for each suite component that you want the user to access. For example, if you are creating a user that will access IBM InfoSphere Information Analyzer, you must assign the Information Analyzer Project Administrator, Data Administrator, or User role.
  6. Optional: In the Groups pane, click Browse to add the user to a group.
    1. In the Add Groups window, select the group that you want to add the user to.
    2. Click Add.
    3. Click OK to close the window.
  7. Click Save > Save and Close.

What to do next

After you create users, you can add the users to new or existing projects.
