Create User Accounts in System Administration

A user account must be created for each user of the DSP®.

NOTE: This step is part of the process for setting up security for DSP® delivered components. Refer to Getting Started with DSP® Security for Delivered Components for more information.

NOTE: An Administrator can create a user account in Common, which allows for a more streamlined process for password maintenance and is the recommended method for use by a Help Desk or Call Center. In System Administration, the Administrator must add a password for the user. In Common, password maintenance is the user’s responsibility. After the user account is created, there is no difference between a user account added in Common or System Administration.

To create a new user:

  1. Log in to System Administration.
  2. Select Security > Users in Navigation pane.
