This topic demonstrates how to create user accounts in EmpowerID by creating an Active Directory user account.
EmpowerID must be connected to an external account directory like Active Directory. For more information see Connecting to Directory Systems. |
Test User — A Test User account is an account used for testing purposes.
In EmpowerID, account types are simply classifications for grouping user accounts into Set Groups, reports or different Recertification policies. They do not grant access. |
Optionally, if you want to join the user account to an existing EmpowerID Person, select Join Account to an Existing Person and search for and select the appropriate person.
To see an example of joining an account to an existing person, see Creating Accounts from People. |
To create a new EmpowerID Person from the user account, select Create a new EmpowerID Person object and select the appropriate Business Role and Location for the person. For details, expand the drop-down section.
|
Scroll to the Security section and select any settings you want to apply to the account. By default, Allow Joining Account to a Person and Allow Provisioning a Person from Account are selected. These two flags tell EmpowerID that during the next inventory run, it can either join the account to an existing EmpowerID Person or provision a new person for the account if one does not currently exist. If you do not want EmpowerID to take this action, clear these options.
EmpowerID determines whether to join new accounts to existing people or provision new people from those accounts based on the Join and Provision rules set for your environment. For more information on these rules, see Account Inbox Overview and Reviewing Join and Provision Rules. |
When ready, click Save.
For immediate processing, leave Wait to See Results selected. If you clear Wait to See Results and click Submit, the process idles and EmpowerID creates a task for it, routing it to any Person with the delegations to continue creating the account. |
On a machine with the Active Directory Module for Windows PowerShell installed, run the following cmdlet, substituting the name of the user with the user you created:
GET-ADUser -filter {name -eq 'PatriciaCollins'} |
