Add a User

The primary task of the system administrator is to provide a potential user with access to one or more supported Deltek applications. The first step in providing this access is to create a user record.

Note: You can also add users by importing them from an ASCII file and Windows Active Directory Services.

To add a user:

1. In the Navigation pane, select SECURITY > Users.
   The Users Detail View displays by default.
2. On the Users Detail View, click + New User .
   By default, the Users Detail View with the GENERAL tab displays. You can also add users from the Users List View,which you can access by clicking at the upper right part of the form.

   Note: You can only add users when the authentication mode is set to Basic on the System Authentication tab and all installed products are compatible with PPM Administrator. Otherwise, the + New User button will be disabled.
3. On the GENERAL tab, complete the necessary fields.
4. On the other tabs of the created record, enter the needed information for the user.
5. When you are done, click Save.

   When adding new users, PPM Administrator automatically sends them a temporary password via email. New users must change their password before logging in to PPM Administrator. The new password must adhere to the established password policies, and blank passwords are not allowed.

   Note: A product license must be assigned to the users before a temporary password can be sent to their email addresses.
