Create New Users

To create new Blueprint users:

  1. In the Blueprint Administration Portal, click User Management and select Users.
    For information on how to access the Admin Portal, see the About the Administration Portal article.
  2. In the Users page displayed, click Add Windows Users or Add Database User
    In Blueprint, users cab be manually created in the Blueprint Admin Portal (Add Database User).

    Instance Admins who already have Active Directory configured for their instance can add users in bulk via a Windows directory (Add Windows Users).
  3. On the New User page displayed, complete the user's basic profile by entering a username, display name, password, picking an instance administrator role, select the Enable Login checkbox, and then click Save.
    Mandatory fields are indicated with a red asterisk (*). You can also enter additional information, such as first and last name, title, department, and email.
