6. Creating users
There are two possible methods of inputting users into the system. When using
local authentication (see page 55) users and groups are created in the AccessIT
GUI. When using an LDAP authentication server (see page 81) users and groups
are imported from a Windows Active Directory. With both authentication methods,
an Administrator can grant users different access permissions as follows:
Administrator - An Administrator can view, modify, manage and control all
AccessIT Manager configuration settings, including creating new users.
User – A User cannot access or change any of the AccessIT Manager configuration
settings. When a User logs in, only the Targets that the user has permission to
access appear.
With local authentication, once you have created users you can form them into
Groups, making management changes easier by e.g. adding or deleting permitted
Targets per Group rather than per individual user. Creating Groups is explained in
section 6.5 on page 25.
In LDAP mode go to section 6.1 below.
To create a new user (in local authentication mode):
1. From the Management menu, select Users. The Users page appears showing
the default Administrator (admin) at the top of the list, see Figure 13.

name in the Search a user field. You can sort the names out in alphabetical
order A-Z or Z-A by clicking the top of the Name column.
· Member of – groups the user is a member of.
· Permission Level – Administrator or User. You can sort the users out in
Permission Level order - Administrators then Users or Users then
Administrators - by clicking the top of the Permission Level column.
· Full Name – Full User name.
