In the Users Settings console, Administrators can add new users to XpoLog.

For each new user, the Administrator can:

  • Assign a username and password.

  • Associate the user with a user group that is defined in the system. Associating a user with a group enables giving permissions to a user at a group level, instead of at a user level.

  • Select the user groups that are to be under the new user's administration.

  • Set the policy used by the user – either the policy of the groups that the the user is associated with or another policy.  

Note: At least one associated group must be selected for a new User.

To add a new User to XpoLog:

  1. In the XpoLog Manager menu, click Security > Users.
    The Users console opens. 

  2. In the Users console, click Add User.
    The Users Settings console opens.

  3. In Username, type a username for identifying the new user.

  4. In Password, type a password for the new user, and in Confirm Password, retype the password. 

  5. In Display Name, type the name to be displayed across the system for this user.

  6. Under Associated Groups List, in Available Groups, select a group that you want the user to be associated with, and click Add.
    The group is moved to the Associated Groups list. 

  7. Repeat step 6 for each group that you want the user to be associated with.
    Note: You can remove a group from the Associated Groups list by selecting it and clicking Remove. It then returns to the Available Groups list.

  8. Under Administered Groups List, in Available Groups, select the group that you want the user to administer, and click Add.
    The group is moved to the Administered Groups list. 

  9. Repeat step 8 for each group that you want the user to administer.
    Note: You can remove a group from the Administered Groups list by selecting it and clicking Remove. It then returns to the Available Groups list.

  10. Under Policy Settings, select either of the following options:
    Use the Policy of the selected groups
    Use the following Policy; in the adjacent drop-down list, select one of the policies that is defined in the system.  

  11. Click Save.
    The Operation Done page appears with the message: "Users operation ended successfully". 

  12. Click ok.
    The Users console opens with the new User on the list.
