Creating User Accounts

Users in the Customer Administrator or Customer User Admin system groups have access to the Users task in the User Manager. Let's discuss how to access the user manager workspace.

To access the Users task, go to Manage ﹥ Administration ﹥User Manager ﹥ Users.

1. To add a new user manually, from the dashboard, click Manage, Administration, User Manager, and then click Users
2. Click Create User to add a user.
3. On the General tab, enter general user information.
4. On the Invitation tab:
   

   • Uncheck the checkbox (the default) if the user is authenticated in an external system, or if the user is authenticated in the SAP Ariba system and you want to manually generate a temporary password before Ariba Administrator sends a login invitation message.

     Check the checkbox if the user is authenticated in the SAP Ariba system and you want Ariba Administrator to generate a temporary password and send a login invitation message to the user immediately after you click Save.

5. On the Groups tab:
   

   • Click Add/Remove to display the available groups. Choose one or more groups to assign the new user to and choose Done.

     For information on the groups in the default configuration, see the SAP Ariba system group descriptions.

     Choose Save to save your changes, or Cancel to return to the previous page without saving your changes.

Administrators can also create multiple users at a time by using the Data import/export functionality. New users are added to an Excel spreadsheet and imported into the application.

Let's have a look at the demonstration on "add a user manually via Ariba Administrator".
