Adding a New User

---

During an initial installation, Supervisor allows you to import usernames from a text file or to create users individually. To create a new user individually:

1. Position your mouse on the root group or the member group where you want to add the user.

2. Click Create New User. Refer to Table 12-4 for a complete list of Supervisor button and shortcut keys.

   Table 12-4: Supervisor Buttons and Shortcut Keys

   Button/ Key Combo	Name	Function
   or ctrl-p	Print	Print the user, group, resource definitions.
   or ctrl-x	Cut	Cut the selected item (user, group, resource).
   or Ctrl-c	Copy	Put the selected item into the MS Windows clipboard.
   or ctrl-v	Paste	Paste the selected item.
   or ctrl-u	New User	Create a new user.
   or ctrl-r	New Group	Create a new group.
   	User/Group Properties	Modify the user or group properties, including passwords and login times.
   	Disable/Enable User	Toggle to disable and enable user login. You may want to use this when employees may be absent for an extended period or if an employee leaves the company but you wish to keep that employee's usage history.
   	Add to Group	Add the user to a group.
   or ctrl-e	Link Universe	Grant a group or individual user access to a universe.
   or ctrl-d	Link Document	Grant a group or individual user access to a document.
   	Resource Properties	>Modify the resource properties, similar to the universe parameters screen in Designer.
   	Disable/Enable Resource	Toggle to disable a configuration, universe, stored procedure, document, or repository. Use this to make the resource temporarily unavailable to all users for system maintenance.
   	Manage Categories	Create and modify categories to organize documents for searching.
   	Repository	Manage the repository and available security, universe, and document domains.
   	Connections	Add or maintain secure connections to data sources used in universes.
   or f5	Refresh	Refresh the view. (Note: This doesn't work in 5.1.3.)
   or shift-f1	Contextual Help	Display contextual help.

3. Enter a name for the user.

4. Press F5 to refresh the list of groups and users or select View | Refresh.

   Note 

   Version 5.1.5 of Supervisor has a bug such that the new username is not displayed until you close and restart Supervisor; it is, however, immediately defined in the repository tables. Supervisor 5.1.6 corrects this problem.
