Adding New Users

The first step in setting up security is adding users. There is no limit to how many users you can add. You can also delete users.

To add a user, complete the following steps:

1. Select from the Security window.
2. Click . The Add New User window will appear.

   

3. Enter a login name for the user in the User field (example: JSMITH). This user login can be up to 25 characters long. The system will automatically change text to uppercase.

   Note: If you choose to set up Windows Authentication in the UIAdmin program, you will map this login name to the users' Windows Accounts. For additional information, consult the UIAdmin help guide.

4. Enter the user's first and last name in the appropriate fields.

   Note: Users will set their own passwords upon logging in to Lucity for the first time. They can then change their passwords as needed using the Help>>Change Password option in the main menu. If you have set up Windows Authentication, users will only login with their Lucity user name and password on the initial attempt. After the first login, the system will log them in automatically using the Windows Accounts defined in UIAdmin.

5. Click to save user information.
6. Click to continue adding new users (repeat steps 1-5).
7. Click to return to the Security window.

   Note: You may experience a pause or delay while your system is adding the new user. This is normal.

Once a user is entered, they are automatically part of the Default group. The Default group cannot be modified in any way nor can any permissions be assigned to this group.
