Creating a user

Creating a user

Create a user on the
Users
 page. When you create a user, the user status is set to Pending Activation or to Enabled based on the authentication method.
  1. In
    Administrator
    , select
    Users
    .
  2. Click
    Add User
    .
  3. Enter the user information.
  4. Enter the login settings:
    1. Select the authentication method.
    2. For Salesforce users, specify whether to activate the user account using a verification code or Salesforce OAuth.
    3. Enter the
      Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services
       user name or the user name in the third-party identity provider's system.
      For native users, enter the
      Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services
       user name. For Salesforce, Microsoft Azure, or SAML users, enter the user name in the third-party identity provider's system.
      The user name must be unique within the
      Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services
       organization. You cannot change the user name after you create a user.
    4. For native users, select the maximum number of login attempts.
  5. In the Assigned User Groups and Roles section, select the user groups and roles that you want to assign to the user.
    You can assign system-defined and custom roles to a user. If you assign a group, the user inherits all roles that are associated with the group.
  6. Click
    Save
    .
After you create a user, the user status is set as follows based on the authentication method:
  • Native users are set to Pending Activation. The user receives an email to confirm the account. When the user clicks the
    Confirm Account
     link in the email, the user is prompted to set up a password and security question. When the user does this, the status changes to Enabled, and the user can log in to
    Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services
    .
  • Salesforce users are set to Pending Activation.
    If you activate the user using a verification code, the user receives an email with a verification code. The user account is activated when the user logs in to Salesforce, opens the Salesforce app, and enters the verification code.
    If you activate the user using Salesforce OAuth, the user receives an email with a
    Confirm Account
     link. The user account is activated when the user clicks the
    Confirm Account
     link and enters the Salesforce user name and password.
  • Microsoft Azure and SAML users are set to Enabled. The user can sign in through the user's identity provider.

How do we create users in bulk?

Informatica Documentation Team - April 18, 2024

Hi Rohithkumar Reddy Bakkireddy,

Thanks for reaching out! There is no way to “bulk create” users on the Users page. However, you can configure single sign-on for your users or provision multiple users at once using SCIM 2.0.

For information about configuring single sign-on for Microsoft Azure users, see “Ecosystem single sign-on.”

For information about enabling single sign-on using SAML, see “SAML single sign-on.”

For information about configuring users using SCIM 2.0 to provision users through Azure AD or Okta, see “Setting up SCIM with Azure Active Directory” or “Setting up SCIM with Okta.”
