Managing Users
You can manage Users in a Model Manager server database from the Model Manager workspace. You can, for example, see all users that have been active in the database or add users as members to Groups. The latter is useful, for example, if the Model Manager server has been set up with an authentication scheme that does not support providing such group memberships from an external credentials storage when a user logs in.
When you connect and authenticate with a Model Manager server, a new user will be automatically created in the database.
See also Users in the Model Manager Server Manual.
Adding Users
There may be situations where you want to add a new user to the server database before the user has connected for the first time. One example is when you preemptively want to grant them permissions to various database objects.
Click User () in the Users section on the Database toolbar to open the Add User dialog box. The Database field shows the label of the database in which the user will be added.
1
Write the username of the user in the Name field. This username should match the one used when authenticating with the Model Manager server.
2
Write an alternative display name for the new user in the Display Name field. This is the name that will primarily be shown in the user interface.
3
All groups that the new user will be set as a member of is shown as a list under Group memberships.
a
Click Add to open the Search dialog box in which you can search for groups via their names and display names.
b
Select groups in the table and click OK to add them to the list.
Select groups in the list and click Remove to remove them from the list.
4
Click OK in the Add User dialog box to add the user to the database.
The added user appears as a new child node to the Users node under Security in The Databases Tree.
The username in the Name field is the same one used to authenticate with the Model Manager server.
