Before you begin

Note: To create a user, you must be logged in as administrator and be a member of the JazzAdmins group.

About this task

To create a new user:

Procedure

  1. Log on as a user with JazzAdmins repository permissions.
  2. Click Admin, and then click Jazz User Administration to open the Active Project Areas view.
  3. Click Create User.
  4. Edit these fields:
    • In the User Name field, type the user's given and family names, for example, Jane Smith.
    • In the User Id field, type a user identifier, for example, jsmith
      Note: The user ID is case sensitive.
    • In the E-mail Address field, type a valid e-mail address, for example, jsmith@mycompany.com
  5. In the Repository Permissions pane, select the appropriate user permissions.

    For ordinary users with regular read-write access to the Jazz™ repository, select the JazzUsers group. For administrators of a Jazz repository with full read-write access, select the JazzAdmins group. For administrators of a Jazz project with special permissions to manipulate project areas, team areas, and process templates, select the JazzProjectAdmins group. To enhance security, create at least one new user account with administrator privileges, and later archive the default administrator account.

    Notes:

    • Passwords and repository permissions are only valid if the server is running a secure connection.
    • When you create a user, the default password is the same as the user ID.
    • If your team uses LDAP, user IDs and passwords are managed on the LDAP server.
    • In a WebSphere Application Server environment, you must update the users.props file.
  6. In the Client Access Licenses pane, select the appropriate license type.
  7. Click Save.
  8. Repeat these steps for each additional user.
