Creating users

If you have large numbers of users to create, you might find it easiest to add the security groups first, and then create template users to represent the different types of user in your organization so that you can copy their permissions.

Users can use their Windows credentials to automatically log on to iBase if the Windows account is domain-based and accessible through Active Directory.

A user is automatically logged on if their Windows credentials match an iBase account for either their Windows user name or the name of a Windows group to which they belong. In iBase Designer only, you can override single sign-on and log on as an iBase user by logging on using Logon As.

Note: Even if the iBase user account is for a Windows group, the audit log will always record the network details of the individual users, such as the computer names.

A user cannot log on automatically if they belong to two or more Windows groups and there is an iBase user account for each group. In this situation, the user is prompted to select the user to log on as. However, there is a Remember my selection option in the Logon dialog so that users do not need to repeat the selection each time. (Users can reset this option in the iBase Options dialog.)

Note: Security policies do not apply to this type of user.
