Administering users and user access

Users are created and managed at the suite level and are made available for application-level access with application-specific role assignments, such as administrator or user. If required, an application administrator can set detailed application privileges for each individual application. You can add users to Maximo® Application Suite by creating a record for each user or by creating multiple user records simultaneously.

1. To add a single user, create a user record and enter the users' details, authentication type, and entitlement.
   1. In Suite administration, click Users and then click Create user.
   2. Specify the user's display name, user ID, and primary email.
   3. Specify other identity information, such as account status, user details, contact information, locale, and time zone.
      For more information, see Setting user account status and Setting language and time zone preferences for users.
   4. Specify the authentication type and login details for user authentication.
   5. Select entitlements to set the application and administration access levels.
      For more information, see User entitlement and access.
   6. In the Application access section, give the user access to applications that they need by selecting the role or entitlement.
2. To create multiple user records, import user records by using the .csv template file.
   1. In Suite administration, select Users and then click the Import users icon.
   2. Download the .csv template.
   3. In the .csv template, provide the user information to create the user records, such as identity details, contact information, access entitlements, and account status. For more information, see Importing users.
   4. Upload the .csv file and click Import.
   After you import the completed .csv file, the data is processed, and a record is created for each user in the file.
