Create a new user account

To participate in a CollabNet TeamForge site, a person must have a user account on that site. CollabNet TeamForge administrators can create these user accounts. This topic applies to sites with no LDAP authentication.

1. Click Admin in the site navigation bar.
2. On the site administration navigation bar, click USERS.
3. Click the drop-down arrow next to Create and click Single User. You can select Multiple Users to create several user accounts at one time.
4. On the Create User page, enter a user name for the user.
   Note: Your user name must meet these criteria:

   • User name is case sensitive.
   • Minimum number of characters as specified in the site-options.conf file.
   • No spaces.
   • Should have at least one letter.
   • The first character is a letter.
5. Enter and confirm a password for the user, if you prefer to set the user's password yourself.
   Tip: To invite users to create their own password, leave the Password field blank. A password ticket email will be sent to users to let them create a password.
6. Enter the user's full name and email address.
   Tip: You can add more email addresses for the user after you finish creating their profile.
7. Enter the user's organization.

   Organization can be a geographic designation, a corporate division, or whatever you want. It's advised to keep it consistent across your site.

8. Choose a user type.
   • CollabNet TeamForge administrator - Administrators have unlimited access to all data in CollabNet TeamForge.
   • Restricted user - Restricted users can only access projects of which they are members.
   You can choose only one user type for each user.
   Note: If you do not select Restricted user, the user will be unrestricted. Unrestricted users can access all projects that have not been made private by a project administrator.
9. To send a welcome message to the user, select Send Welcome Message.
10. Click Create.
