Adding a User

You must log in as an administrator to add users to a Silk Test Workbench database. You can override a user's default permission for a project at any time by editing their user profile.

  1. Choose Tools > Administration. Or, you can click Administration in the Tasks pane of the Start Screen. The Administration dialog box opens.
  2. Click the Users tab.
  3. Click Add. The Add User dialog box opens.
  4. If you want to use the Windows authentication for this user, which enables Silk Test Workbench to remember the user credentials, type the domain into the Domain field. If you want to use the Silk Test Workbench authentication, you can leave the Domain field empty.
  5. Enter the logon ID for the user in the User ID text box.
  6. Enter the password for the user in the Password text box.
  7. Enter the identical password in the Confirm Password text box.
  8. Enter the user's name in the Full Name text box.
