Create user

objectiF RPM works on a central multi-user database and differentiates between user, staff and project staff.

First of all, you need a user of type database administrator. This user has unlimited rights and can also create users and employees, assign rights, and create and delete organizations and projects.

Users are created in organizations as well as in projects or imported from an Active Directory. They are then available to all organizations and can be distributed into the projects.

An staff is available to the entire organization and can thus be assigned to projects or moved to another sub-organization.

A project staff is an employee who is assigned to one or more projects.

You create a user:

• via the backstage menu with Settings/ User Management
• if you are in an organization and click in the backstage menu the command Settings/ User Management
• if you are in a project and and click in the backstage menu the command Settings/ User Management.

It plays a subordinate role whether users are created in an organization or a project. It is important that all users who want to work with objectiF RPM are registered as users.

The view contains all created users that were created within the main organization or that exist in your database. If you create additional organizations, the users created in the main organization are also made available here.

You can create users manually or import all users from an Active Directory. When creating a new user, you enter data for the login or the e-mail address and mark whether it is a “normal” user or whether it should be given additional rights by default. If you import users, you can specify this data using the Edit context menu command.
