Create user profiles

We can create an ISIM user profile for an individual who requires one.

If a new user requires a new business unit, create the business unit first. A business unit might be necessary.

To create an Security Identity Manager user, complete these steps.

  1. From the navigation tree, select Manage Users.

  2. On the Select a User page, click Create.

  3. On the Select User Type page, select the user type. To place the user under a different business unit than the default, click Search to search for and select a business unit. Then, click Continue.

  4. On the Create User page, click each tab and specify the required information for the user.

    The number of tabs displayed and the information in each tab is determined by the system administrator.

    1. On the Personal Information tab, type information about the user in the fields. To assign a role for this user, click Search to search and select an organizational role. Then, click Business Information.

    2. On the Business Information tab, type information about the user in the fields. Then, click Contact Information.

    3. On the Contact Information tab, type information about the user in the fields. Then, click Assignment Attributes.

    4. On the Assignment Attributes tab, specify values for the role assignment attributes for the user that we are creating. We can specify values for attributes only if you assigned a role to this user, and the role or its parent role contains assignment attributes. We cannot specify values in the following cases:
      • You did not assign a role.
      • You assigned a role, but either the role or its parent role does not have assignment attributes.

    5. Click Continue.

  5. On the Create a New Password page, provide a password for the user.

  6. Choose a time and date to schedule this operation. We can select Immediate, or we can specify an effective date and time.

  7. Click Submit. The user is provisioned an ISIM account with the password that you provide.

  8. On the Success page, click Close.

  9. On the Select a User page, click Refresh. The new user is displayed in the Users table.

We can now do other activities for the new user, such as requesting accounts and access.
