Creating a manager user account for a user of an external system

For some product solutions, the manager might support the creation of user accounts that are based on user accounts on an external system. These product solutions might require you to create user accounts in this way to use the integration between the manager and the external system.

Only users with a user role of admin can create a manager user account for a user of an external system.

Before you create a manager user account for a user of an external system, you must complete the following tasks:
  • Configure the manager and management server to integrate with the external system. For information about how to configure integration with the external system, see the documentation for the product solution.
  • Add a license to a management server if the product solution requires a license.
To create a manager user account for a user of an external system:
  1. Access the manager on the application server.
  2. Click Configuration.
  3. Click Users and Groups.
  4. Click User Management.
  5. Click Add Optim User.
  6. Select the external system user, select the roles that you want the user to have, and click Create.
