Create a New User

A user can be an administrator in the system or a visitor to a portal. Adding someone as a user gives them a username and a password (or other credential), and enables them to be selected for inclusion in other role-based user groups associated with portals.

When you create a user, you are creating a record of an individual. After this file has been created, it is stored in the WebLogic Server LDAP system by default. This makes it easy for you to access it to change its properties, change its group, and give it permissions as an administrator (via Delegated Administration) or as a visitor to your finished portal (via Entitlements).

Administrators can configure new users in the WebLogic Server Console and store them in an active directory. For detailed information, see the http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13222_01/wls/docs81/ConsoleHelp/security_activedirectoryauthenticator_config_active-directory.html.

To create a new user:

1. In the All Groups Resource tree, select a group.
2. Select the Add Users tab.
3. Click Create New User.
4. Enter the name of the new user and a password for the new user in the pop-up window.
5. Click Create New User.
