Adding Users Under Local Authentication	Adding Users Manually	Adding Groups

If Local authentication is selected in Site Settings, local users can log in to the Content Server.

Firstly, you need to ensure that local user accounts have been created on the Content Server. You can create local user accounts from the Windows Server administration site in the Administrator Settings menu.

These users then need to be added to the Content Server database by entering their usernames on the Add Users page. Please note that adding local groups is not supported.

Local usernames must be entered in this format:

MACHINENAME\user.name:Display Name(optional)

Adding Users or Groups Under Domain or LDAP Authentication

When Domain or LDAP authentication is selected in Site Settings, LDAP/Active Directory users or groups can log in to the Content Server.

LDAP/Active Directory users need to be added manually through the Add Users page before they can log in if:

•Domain or LDAP authentication is selected in Site Settings, and

•Allow Guest Access is selected in Site Settings.

LDAP/Active Directory users must be entered in this format:

user.name:Display Name(optional)

Adding Users Automatically

All users with valid accounts on the Domain or LDAP server will be added automatically upon login if:

•Domain or LDAP authentication is selected in Site Settings and

•Allow Guest Access is deselected in Site Settings.

Users added automatically will only have privileges to view conferences they are authorized to view (their User Role will be User). Administrators can give users special privileges by changing their role to Owner or Administrator).

Groups always need to be added manually through the Add Users page.

LDAP/Active Directory groups must be entered in this format:

@group.name

Please note that although a group is added in this format, @group.name, both the group name and its base DN are displayed in the User Management page.

When adding a group, all members of that group will be automatically added to the Content Server on login with the privileges you assigned to the group, if Domain or LDAP authentication is selected in Site Settings, and regardless of whether or not Allow Guest Access is selected in Site Settings.

If you add a group with Owner privileges, as members of that group log in to the Content Server, their accounts will be automatically created. The User Role next to their username in the User Management page will appear to be User, but they will have Owner privileges inherited from their group membership.

If you want all members of the group to be Users or Owners, but some members of the group need administrative privileges, you can change the User Role for these members to Admin. The highest user role will be applied.

Adding Users Correctly

Users need to be added to the user database on the Content Server in order to log in. To add users. enter one username per line, or usernames separated by a semicolon.
