Configuring Users in P6 EPPM

Contents

Depending on your security profile, the Users table enables you to add and remove users and control user access to P6 EPPM modules. You must add a user in P6 for each person who needs access to any P6 EPPM module.

At a minimum, each user requires a login name, global profile, and module access. You can also provide additional information about the user, such as an e-mail address and phone number.

If your organization centralizes user information in an LDAP directory, you can add P6 EPPM users by provisioning from the LDAP store. See Authentication in P6 EPPM for more information. After you provision users, you will need to assign each user module access.

If your company’s OBS is established, and you know which OBS elements to associate with each user, you can make the assignments using the Project Access window of the Users table. See Assigning OBS Elements and Project Profiles in P6 EPPM.

Note: For security reasons, Oracle strongly recommends that you replace the default Admin Superuser (admin) immediately after a manual database installation or an upgrade from P6 version 7.0 and earlier. See The Default Admin Superuser for guidelines on this process.
