Home / Identity Administration / People / Current: Creating User Accounts from People
This topic demonstrates how to create user accounts in external directories from existing EmpowerID people.
EmpowerID must be connected to an external account directory like Active Directory. For more information on connecting EmpowerID to external account directories, see Connecting to Directory Systems. |
Select the appropriate UPN suffix from the UPN Suffix drop-down.
Optionally, type a description in the Description field and any comments in the Comments or Justification field. |
Type the name of the Person from whom you are creating the account in the Account Owner field and then click the tile for that Person.
Optionally, select Allow me to enter a password to set the password for the user account. In this example, we do. This changes the form to display the Password and Confirm Password fields. Type the password in the Password and Confirm Password fields. |
In production, you generally set Must Change Password At Next Logon.
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 Overview of the Account Inbox and Reviewing Join and Provision Rules. |
After the user account is created, the account's View page appears.
View pages allow you to view information about a selected resource and manage that resource as needed.
The EmpowerID Logon attribute is noteworthy, as it points to the logon name of the EmpowerID Person owning the account. If this attribute is empty, the account does not belong to an EmpowerID Person. |
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 'CharlesKraft'} |
