User Management

Each user requires a unique id and password, along with defined "roles", which determine the privileges they have in the system. The administrator is responsible for creating user ids and passwords. In some cases, users may self register in the Governance Portal; creating their own id and password. See Login for additional information.

User management administration is a three-step process:

1. Create a User ID and Password: Below are the options for creating a user, depending on how your version of the Governance Portal is configured:
   • Manually via the Governance Portal (a password for the user must be provided)
   • Via the Network Directory
   • Using mixed mode authentication (having the option of creating the user manually or through the network.)
   • Create multiple users via spreadsheet upload
2. Assign the user to a role(s) and optionally
3. Add the user to a user group.

To assist with mass user creation, typically upon initial implementation of the Governance Portal, users can be uploaded via a spreadsheet. See Create a User via Spreadsheet Upload for additional information.
