View users

To view the users in your identity store, follow the steps below.

1. Log in to Manager as the primary site administrator or a user with administrative access.
2. Click Security > Users.

Manager only displays the first 1,000 users in your identity store. However, Manager offers a Search tool that you can use to locate and view the properties of a user. This is especially convenient when your identity store contains a large number of users. To find a user using the Search tool, see the next section in this topic.

Add users

You can add a new user to the built-in store in Manager by following the steps below.

1. Log in to Manager as the primary site administrator or a user with administrative access.
2. Click Security > Users.
3. Click New user. This displays a dialog box to add a new user. On this dialog box, provide the following information:
   • Username: This is a required parameter and must be set to a unique value that easily identifies the user. The user name is case sensitive.
   • Password: This is a required parameter and must be typed twice for confirmation. Use a strong password that is at least eight characters and contains at least one numeric and one nonalphanumeric character (!, #, %, and so on). The password is case sensitive.
   • Email: The email address of the user.
   • Full name: The user's full name.
   • Description: A brief description for the user.
4. To make this user a member of one or more roles, click the Add Role button next to the role name in the Available roles list. You need to have at least one role previously defined to do this. If there are currently no roles defined, you can edit the user later to add roles to it. To add a role to the identity store, see Manage roles in Manager.
5. Once you have defined the user as desired, click Create to add the user to the identity store.

Search for a user

To search for a user in Manager, follow the steps below.

1. Log in to Manager as the primary site administrator or a user with administrative access.
2. Click Security > Users.
3. Enter the username or full name of the user you want to locate on the Find User dialog box.

   Note:

   If users are managed in an enterprise identity provider, such as LDAP or Active Directory, you can also type the first few characters of the user name or use the asterisk (*) character to replace one or more characters in the user name. For example, to locate a user named John Smith, you can use the search string Jo*th, *Smith or John*.

   Note:

   The search string [user name] only locates users belonging to the same domain as the ArcGIS Server site. To locate a specific user in a different domain, use the search string [domain]\[user name]. To list of all the users in a different domain, use the search string [domain]\.

4. Click the Search button to view the results of your query.

4. To change the user's role membership, click the Add Role button to add roles from the Available roles list. Click the Delete button next to a role to remove it from the Member of list.
