New/Edit User

This screen allows Powertech Multi-Factor Authentication administrators to edit the properties of a user enrolled in the authentication manager. There is some overlap with some of the features provided by the self service portal for the user to edit their own profile. The administrator is able to edit some details that the user can't edit, though (and vice versa). The administrator is able to:

  • Add/Edit/Remove IBM i profiles assigned to the user
  • Add/Remove devices registered by the user

How to Get There

To add a new User, in the Navigation Pane, choose Users, then click Add > Add User.

To edit an existing user, in the Users screen, double-click a user, or, click for a User and choose Edit.

  • Disabled. Choose Disabled to turn the authentication method off.
  • Enabled. Choose Enabled to turn the authentication method on.
  • Inherit. Choose Inherit to use the authentication method defined for the User's Group. If the user's Group setting for an authentication method is set to Inherit, the user will acquire the setting specified in Settings.
