Adding users

Important: IBM Cloud Pak® for Data Version 4.8 will reach end of support (EOS) on 31 July, 2025. For more information, see the Discontinuance of service announcement for IBM Cloud Pak for Data Version 4.X.

Upgrade to IBM Software Hub Version 5.1 before IBM Cloud Pak for Data Version 4.8 reaches end of support. For more information, see Upgrading from IBM Cloud Pak for Data Version 4.8 to IBM Software Hub Version 5.1.

You can add users in Cloud Pak for Data so that you can give them access to an OpenPages instance.

About this task

To add users, you use the default administrator account to log in to Cloud Pak for Data web client and complete the following steps:

Procedure

  1. On the Cloud Pak for Data welcome page, click Manage users.
  2. Click Add user.
  3. On the Profile information page, enter the following information:
    • Username

      Usernames can contain A-Z, a-z, 0-9, and any of the following special characters: @-!._/:*\"#%?<>

    • Email

      If you don't enter an email address, the user will not have an email address in OpenPages either. If you try to enter an email address in OpenPages, the synchronization job will remove it. This is important because some OpenPages features, such as workflow notifications and NPS surveys, require a user's email address.

    • Password
    • Confirm password
  4. Click Next.
  5. On the Platform access page, select Assign roles directly.
  6. Click Next.
  7. On the Roles page, select User.
  8. Click Next.
  9. On the Summary page, click Add.

What to do next

Now you need to give the user access to the OpenPages instance. For more information, see Managing access to OpenPages instances.
