Fill in the credentials of an administrator user and press the 'Login' button.

And you're in! Welcome to Enterprise Manager.

Expand the 'Users' folder and click on 'User Accounts';

Click on the 'Create New User' link (under the 'User Accounts' page title);

Fill in the user data as depicted;

Let's go through some of these fields:

• Username: The login name that uniquely identifies this user account (must be unique across all user accounts). It's used in conjunction with a password to identify and authenticate a user in your applications login screens;
• Name, Email and Phone:  Basic identification and contact information;
• Company: Enterprise Manager keeps a list of companies which you can use as a centralised resource for this kind of information, through this field you can associate a user account with one of the registered campanies and, later on, use this meta-information in your applications;
• Job Title: Some more meta-information regarding the user account, because this field is free text it's usually used only for display purposes;
• Organizational Node: Complementarily to the list of companies, Enterprise Manager can also keep the organizational tree for each company. These organizational nodes can, through this field, be associated with user accounts and this meta-information may be used later to implement specific custom behaviors for users belonging to a specific department (organizational node) and infer security permissions;
• Language: Allows you to specify the default "Language" for this user. This information can then be used by localized (multi-language) applications to automatically set the appropriate language/locale once this user logs in.
• Is Active: Allows you to mark a user as inactive, effectively preventing access to your applications without having to physically delete the user from the database.
• Change password on next Login: There are 2 usages for this field:
  • If you're using a centralized login page (the one provided by the enterprise eSpace) this pattern will be automatically handled and the user will be redirected to the change password screen on the next login;
  • If you have a custom login page in your application (the pattern suggested by the OutSystems Style Guide) you can use this field as meta-information and automatically redirect the user to your own change password screen;
• Authentication Mode: You have 3 options for your Authentication Mode:
  • Site Default (the most common setting), means that you inherit the site's default Authentication Mode (for a new installation the default is: Internal);
  • LDAP authentication (not available in the community edition), means that the authentication will be done against your Active Directory (or any other LDAP compatible server you're using). We won't address how to set up the LDAP integration in this how-to.
  • Internal authentication means that you'll be storing you're passwords in the Enterprise Manager database;
• Creation Date and Last Login: Just some operational information to help System Administrators manage the accounts;
• Roles, Privileges: In this how-to I'm focused on addressing the user identification and authentication issue. These other settings are related to another very relevant aspect of user management: Authorization, but this will be addressed in a different how-to, therefore we won't go into any detail here;
• Relations: They allow you to define a centralized set of relationships between users (you can add more relationship types), and later on, use this information to implement some custom business login in your applications;

Press the 'Save' button, a success feedback message should be displayed;

Click on the 'Change Password' link beneath the 'User - Melissa Gordon (mgordon)' page title;

Fill in the form (remember that 'New Password' and 'Confirm New Password' must match) and click on the 'Change Password' button;

And you're done! This user is ready to login in any applications that integrate with Enterprise Manager.
