Adding a User

Open the Server Administration tool and select the server configuration.

Click the Accounts bar and then click

(User Manager).
The User Manager tab opens.

Select a group from the Groups tree and click New User. The New User Properties dialog appears.

Type the user’s name in the Full Name field and optionally type the user’s e-mail address in the E-Mail field.

Optionally, type the user's phone number, voice mail number, pager number, fax phone number, and street address in the appropriate fields.

Click the Logon tab.

Type the name to be used to log onto the application in the User Name field. If you enter a user name that already exists, the following message displays after you click OK: A user with a given user name already exists.
Select the Validate through StarTeam Server button if you want to validate the user against the server. Type a StarTeam password for the user in the Password field and again in the Confirm field. Asterisks appear in the text box instead of the password itself. If the password’s minimum length can be zero, you do not have to enter a password. If you are using strong passwords, be sure to follow the rules for those passwords.
(For Microsoft Active Directory or OpenLDAP) To validate the user against your organization’s directory server, select the Validate through directory service button and type the Distinguished Name for the user. An alphanumeric value of up to 254 characters, this value is used to uniquely identify the directory services user. To use directory service validation, the Server must be on a trusted domain in relation to the LDAP server.

Optionally, select the Access Policy tab and specify when this user can access the server configuration. Select one of the following option buttons:

Access not restricted (the user can access the server configuration at any time)
Standard five day work week (the user can access the server configuration Monday through Friday from 8 A.M. to 5 P.M.)
Custom access hours (to set one or two time periods per day when the user can or cannot access the server configuration)
Select a day of the week from the Day list.
Select the No Access on That Day check box to deny access, or clear it to allow access on that day.
Use the From and To boxes to set one or two time periods when access is either allowed or denied.

If the user’s workstation is not in the same time zone as the computer on which the server configuration is running, select the Adjust for Workstation Time Zone check box, and type the number of hours from Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) in the hours from GMT field.

Add the new user explicitly to other groups, as appropriate. Remember that a user is implicitly already a member of the current group’s parent groups, but you must explicitly add a user to groups that are not parents of the current group.
