MicroStrategy ONE
Creating, Importing, and Deleting Users and Groups
It is possible to create users individually using the User Manager interface in Developer, or using Command Manager (for a detailed explanation of how to use Command Manager, including examples, see Automating Administrative Tasks with Command Manager). You can also import users and groups from a text file, from a Windows user directory, or from an LDAP directory.
To Create a New User with the User Editor in Developer
- In Developer, log in to a project source. You must log in as a user with the Create And Edit Users And Groups privilege.
- Expand Administration, then User Manager, and then a group that you want the new user to be a member of. If you do not want the user to be a member of a group, select Everyone.
- Go to File > New > User.
- Specify the user information for each category in the editor.
The user login ID is limited to 50 characters.
To Delete a User
If a Narrowcast user exists that inherits authentication from the user that you are deleting, you must also remove the authentication definition from that Narrowcast user. For instructions, see the MicroStrategy Narrowcast Server Administration Guide.
- In Developer, log in to a project source. You must log in as a user with the Create And Edit Users And Groups privilege.
- Expand Administration, then User Manager, and then browse to the group containing the user.
- Select the user and press Delete.
- Click OK.
-
Click No. The folder and its contents remain on the system and ownership is assigned to Administrator. You may later assign ownership and access control lists for the folder and its contents to other users.
- Click Yes and the folder and all of its contents are deleted.
