Add new users (P6 Professional Only)

Choose Admin, Users.
Click Add.
What appears next depends on your security configuration:
1. If P6 Professional is running in Native authentication mode, the Add User dialog box will appear:
  1. Fill in the Login Name, Personal name, Enter new password, and Confirm new password fields.
  2. Click OK.
  3. If the ability to edit a personal resource calendar is required, you can select an associated resource from the Resource ID / Resource Name for Personal Calendar field, or you can create the link when you add resources.
  4. Click the Contact tab. Enter the user's email address and office phone number.
  5. Click Close.
2. If P6 Professional is running in LDAP authentication mode, the Import Domain Users dialog box will appear:
  Note You must have the Add/Edit/Delete Users privilege and the Provision Users from LDAP privilege to search the LDAP directory. You do not need the Provision Users from LDAP privilege to import users from the LDIF file.
  1. Click the Load LDIF button, or enter an LDAP query under LDAP User Search Criteria.
    
    If you clicked the Load LDIP button, browse to the location of the LDIF file, and click Open.
    If you entered an LDAP query (for example, for example, UID=*) click Search.
  2. A list of users will appear, grouped by category.
    
    For example, LDAP repository users that do not exactly match P6 Professional users will be grouped together. If users exist in the LDAP repository, the Login Name, Personal Name, User EMail Address, and Office Phone fields are populated based on the field mappings in the LDAP configuration settings.
  3. Select the Import option next to each Login Name that you with to import. New or modified users are automatically selected.
  4. Click Import Users.
  5. Click Close in the Users dialog box.

Tip

When you create new users, they are automatically assigned the default global profile.
If a user is also a resource, the email address and office phone number you type in the Users dialog box overwrites the email address and office phone number recorded in the Resources window General tab, if that information is different. Likewise, email and phone information you enter in the Resources window overwrites the information in the Users dialog box.
If P6 Professional is running in LDAP authentication mode, the Password button does not appear because password management is handled through the directory server.
