Setting up user templates

NOTE: If using the AD and/or IEM Module, there are different steps for setting up user templates. Please use the steps as described in their respective chapters.

To define user templates:  

1-  Navigate to Administration > Users > Add.

2-  Select “Template” as the user type and enter a user ID that allows this template, as well as its purpose, to be easily identified (e.g. “EndUserTemplate,” “ExternalUser”).

NOTE: The User ID cannot be modified once the record is saved. If no user ID is entered, a numeric user ID will be assigned by the system.

3-  Enter a generic first and last name (e.g. “EndUser/Template,” “External/User”).

4-  To allow users created from this template to login – select “Can Log In.”

5-  To prevent users created from this template from being sent system-generated email notifications – select “Suppress All Email.” 

6-  Enter or select a default organization. We strongly recommend using a generic organization, as described in the “Organizations” chapter. However, you may enter/select an actual organization.

7-  Select a default time zone.

8-  Select any menu options to display to these users.

9-  Select the default home page.

10-  Select any advanced (license-related) permissions. (A license must be available for each user created from this template to have any of these permissions.)

11-  Select any administration-related permissions.

12-  Select any data access-related permissions.

13-  Select any workflow-related permissions.

14-  Select any issue maintenance-related permissions.

15-  Select any reporting-related permissions.

16-  Select any email-related permissions.

17-  Click Save. (Reset will clear this screen of all current entries/selections.)

The View User screen will then appear with the message “User successfully added.” Repeat these steps for any additional user templates.
