Create users
If you have LiveCompare Administrator permissions, create new LiveCompare user accounts by carrying out the following steps:
- Navigate to the Administration > Users folder in the LiveCompare hierarchy and choose New User… from the context menu.
- Complete the New User screen as follows:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Username | Enter a sign on username. |
| Description | Enter a description for the user. |
| Email address | Enter the user’s email address. |
| User Role | Select this radio button to create a user with LiveCompare Editor or Consumer permissions. Select ‘LiveCompare Consumer’ to create a user who is only able to access apps, or ‘LiveCompare Editor’ to create a user with full editing permissions. |
| Administrator | Select this radio button to create an administrative user. Administrators control user access and the availability of workspace models. |
| Password | Enter a sign on password for this user. The password is case-sensitive. Note that the requirement for strong passwords is set by default when LiveCompare is configured. |
| Confirm Password | Enter the same password for confirmation. |
| User must change password at next logon | Select this checkbox to require that the user change their password when they next sign in to LiveCompare. |
| Add to Resource Group(s) | If LiveCompare is Resource Group-controlled, select the appropriate checkboxes to add the user to one or more Resource Groups. Click Select All to select all Resource Groups, or Select None to select no Resource Groups. If Resource Groups have been defined, a user with LiveCompare Editor or Consumer permissions won't be able to sign in to LiveCompare unless they are assigned to at least one Resource Group. Note that Administrators can't be added to Resource Groups. |
| DevOps Teams | Select the DevOps teams to which the user is to be assigned. Users are able to access apps that have been assigned to matching DevOps categories (as well as apps that have not been assigned to a category). If you don't select any DevOps teams, LiveCompare selects all the DevOps teams automatically. |
- Click Add to add the user.
