Creating a Secondary User ID

You can use Security Console for Web to create secondary IDs to manage separate securities for a user. Secondary IDs are created by adding up to five letters to the end of a primary ID. When you create a secondary ID, all of the values are copied from the primary ID. The First Name, Last Name, Email Address, Identity, and Access Type fields cannot be edited on the secondary ID. These fields remain synced with the primary ID and change when they are changed on the primary ID.

Note

You must have Create User permissions to create a secondary user ID. Refer to Adding and Maintaining Users and Access Rights for more information.

This feature is available for SaaS clients only. On-premise MRI clients do not require secondary IDs.

Secondary IDs cannot be restored with the Restore Deleted User function.

 

To create a secondary user ID, follow these steps:

1.         Go to Users.

2.         If you have super administrator rights for an on-premise client, enter the appropriate Client ID in the Client ID Override field in the user profile .

Note

The user list is filtered depending on your Client ID from your login.

 

3.         Select the user to receive the secondary ID.

4.         Click More Actions, and then select Create Secondary User.

5.         In the Create Secondary User dialog box, enter a suffix to add to the user ID, limited to five alphabetical characters.

Note

MRI Software recommends using a regular rule for secondary IDs. For example, your characters could be in alphabetical order, or represent Site IDs.

 

6.         Click Save. The new user record displays.

7.         The temporary password for the user appears. Note this password, and then click Close.

Note

This password is not saved in any other location outside the dialog box. Be sure to copy it or write it down in order to provide it to the user. If you accidentally close the dialog, use the Generate Temporary Password option to create another new password.

 

8.         Edit any remaining information in the User Setup, User Security Assignments, and Administrator Rights tabs, and then click Save.
