User Management

Under Database ‣ Security…, you can create new users, user groups, set up Single Sign-On (SSO) or force reset passwords as described below.

Create a New User

  1. In the menu, navigate to Database ‣ Security….

  2. On the Users tab, choose Add.

  3. In the Add Personnel dialog, on the Personnel tab, enter the name of the user and any other personal details (such as address, email, phone number, position) as required.

  4. On the Login tab, do the following:

    • Specify the login name, which will be used as a username when logging in. For example, if the name of the user is “Sample User”, the login name can be “sample.user”.

    • Tick the Enabled checkbox and create a password for the user using the Change Password button. If you want the user to change their password upon login, tick the Force Password Reset checkbox.

    • If required, you can also enable Single Sign-On (SSO) on this tab (see Set Up Single Sign-On (SSO)).

  1. On the Member Of tab, select the security group to which you want to assign the new user (if required).

  2. If required, you can define user-specific permissions on the Permissions tab (see Set Up Permissions for User/User Group).

  3. Click OK.

Create a New User Group

  1. In the menu, navigate to Database ‣ Security….

  2. On the Groups tab, choose Add.

  3. In the Add Security Group dialog, on the Security Group tab, enter the name of the user group and if required, a description.

  4. On the Permissions tab, set up the permissions as required (see Set Up Permissions for User/User Group).

  5. Click OK.

Set Up Single Sign-On (SSO)

You can configure a user to use Window domain credentials to log in to Integrity Centre. This is smoother as users will not need to enter a separate password when they start Integrity Centre — instead Integrity Centre will query the domain controller to check the user’s credentials. To configure this:

  1. Edit the user and go to the Login tab.

  2. Click the ellipsis button under ‘Windows User’.

  3. In the resulting ‘Select User’ dialog, you may need to click Locations and select Entire Directory.

  4. Type the user’s full or partial Windows login name, and click Check Names, choose the appropriate name from the list and click OK.

Note

  • This configuration is relevant for on-premises deployment only. For information about setting up SSO for Software as a Service (SaaS), see Software as a Service (SaaS) Deployment.

  • Windows domain credentials may not work when you are away from the Windows domain.

Tip

You can always bypass the automatic connection to the database using domain credentials by holding down the Shift key as Integrity Centre starts up.

Force Reset Password

If you are not using SSO, you can force a user to reset their NEXUS password on their next login. (You would typically do this when you have just created a user account and have set a temporary password.) On their next login, the user will be required to enter their old password and then choose a new one before they can proceed.

To enable this feature, under Database ‣ Security…, go to the Login tab and tick the Force Password Reset checkbox.
