If P6 is configured for LDAP or SSO authentication mode you add users with the Add Users From LDAP dialog box.
To add users in LDAP or SSO authentication mode:
Note: If you intend to use BI Publisher, avoid using commas when creating data other than Project names. The way that data other than Project names is passed to BI Publisher can cause a comma to be interpreted as a delimiter between data items. You may need to work with your Network Administrator to make sure that User names do not include commas.
- Click Administration.
- On the Administration navigation bar, click User Administration.
- Click the Add
menu and select Users from LDAP. - In the Add Users From LDAP dialog box:
- Enter an LDAP query or accept the query in the search field and click Search.
Note: Depending on your P6 administrative configuration settings, you might be prompted to log into the LDAP server. For more information about P6 administrative configuration settings, refer to the P6 EPPM System Administration Guide for On-Premises.
- Select the users to add and click Select Items.
- Click Add.
- Enter an LDAP query or accept the query in the search field and click Search.
- On the Users page, click Save.
Tips:
- You can also add users from an LDIF file. When you add users from an LDIF file all users in the file are added to the Available Users list.
- You must have the Add/Edit/Delete Users and Provision Users from LDAP privileges to search the LDAP directory. You do not need the Provision Users from LDAP privilege to import users from an LDIF file.
- The new users will be assigned the default global profile unless you selected to copy the settings of another user in the Copy Preferences from (optional) field. If you select to copy the settings from another user, the project and global security pofiles, OBS assignments, project access, and module access will be copied from the other user. The LDAP repository will remain the source for the name, ID, phone number, and email even if you copy the preferences from another user. Copying preferences from another user does not copy the associated resource to the new user.
- If you select the Create Resource option, the resources are created and the Associated Resource column is populated when you save the changes in the User Administration page.
