  • 1.  Creating new users with specific permissions and authorizations

    Posted Jul 13, 2016 10:35 AM
    Here are simple ways of having users created with specific permissions and authorizations:

    I - Users in the same client.


    Method A : duplicate an existing user

    Method B : user group
    - create a user Group

    - Set authorizations : for instance only access to folders that have a name that begins with "OPER", and run jobs on Agent "WIN01" with login "WINLOGIN".

    - Set privileges.

    - Then edit the user object and add it to the group from the UserGroups tab.

    II - Add new users to different clients


    A/ Via xml exports
    1 - From the explorer window, right click on the user > External & Printing > Export.

    2 - Connect to the target client, and from the explorer right click > Import.

    3- The password of the imported user(s) will be automatically set to its default value "pass". You will be prompted to change it at the user's first connection.

    B/ via the transport container

    1 - From the explorer, drag and drop the user object in the transport container folder.

    2 - Use DB Unload to unload the transport case.

    3 - To be on the safe side, make sure to specify which client should be unloaded.
    Press 'No'.

    Then select the client.

    4 - A transport file has been produced under the name "uc_data.txt" in../db folder of where the utility runs.

    5 - Start DB Load and select the transport file.

    6 - Specify a different client.
    Select 'No'.

    Set the target client.

    7 - Once loading has completed, you can directly sign in with the imported user(s). Password will be set to default value "pass", which you will need to change at first logon.

    I know it's not possible to create users with Automic script. I'm curious if any of you has ever used the API to add users?

    Hi Antoine,

    yes i have done it before. there is a CLI binary (Open Source) to create objects (OBJECTS_Create.jar) and one to update any USER object: (USER_Update.jar).

    both can be found here: https://github.com/brendanSapience/UC4-Automic-AE-CLI-Binary-Repository

    here is the help of USER_Update.jar:

    Hii Brendan,
    I want to delete without LDAP synchronization, I try "USER Update.jar -u_ldapsync" for this but I couldn't. 
    (delete users leaving the job)

    can you give me advice for that?

    thanks
