Creating Users

  2. Complete the New User screen as follows:
Field Description
Username: Enter a logon username.

Administrator: Select this radio button to create an administrative user. Administrators control user access and the availability of workspace models.

Add to Project(s): If LiveCompare is project-controlled, select the appropriate check boxes to add the user to one or more projects. Click ‘Select All’ to select all projects, or ‘Select None’ to select no projects. If projects have been defined, a user with LiveCompare Editor or Consumer privileges will not be able to log in to LiveCompare unless they are assigned to at least one project. Note that Administrators cannot be added to projects.
DevOps Teams: Select the DevOps teams to which the user is to be assigned. Users are able to access Apps that have been assigned to matching DevOps categories (as well as Apps that have not been assigned to a category).
  1. Click ‘Add’ to add the user.

Connection statistics are shown for each logged on user, and you have the option to log off any connected user. If you have LiveCompare Editor privileges, selecting the Administration/Users folder displays details for your own user account in the right-hand pane.
