Create a New User in DataEngine
This guide explains step by step how you can create a new user in your DataEngine. Follow these instructions to successfully add new users.
Step 1: Access User Management
- Open your DataEngine and look at the black navigation bar on the right side of the browser window.
- Click on User Management.
Step 2: Create a New User
There are two ways to start the process:
- Via the “Users” menu item:
- Hover your mouse over the Users menu item in the horizontal main navigation bar.
- Then click on Create New User.
- Via the left navigation:
- Expand the left navigation menu.
- Click on Create New User.
Step 3: Fill in the User Profile
You will now be redirected to the input form for the User Profile. Here are some fields you need to fill out:
- Username: The username must be unique.
- Last Name
- Status: The default status is “Active”.
- Email Address: The email address must also be unique and a business address.
Step 4: Define User Type
Select the user type:
- Normal User
- System Administrator
Step 5: Optional: Employee Details
The employee details are optional and can be filled out by the user themselves.
Step 6: Activate User Management Option
The User Management option gives the user the right to create new users without being an administrator. Carefully consider to whom you grant these rights.
Step 7: Additional Settings
All other settings can remain at their default values. The user can adjust them themselves after logging in.
Step 8: Password Delivery
The password will be automatically sent via email to the new user, provided this function has not been explicitly deactivated in the password management.
Notes
- Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): MFA methods set by the user cannot be created or reset by the administrator. Please remind users to securely store their backup codes.
- Deactivation upon Departure: If a user leaves the company, set their status to Inactive and change the employee status to “Terminated” to block login access.
