Although it is not absolutely necessary for a user to have a profile defined on M-Business Server to be subscribed to your channel, this is the most common approach. There are several different ways to create user profiles on M-Business Server:
If users in your organization are already defined in an NT domain, and you have NT domain integration enabled on your M-Business Server, all of the integrated NT domain users are automatically set up as M-Business Anywhere users.
If users in your organization are already defined in a database other than an NT domain, you can probably import them into M-Business Anywhere by exporting them from the existing database in a CSV file.
Manually creating a user profiles is always an option, although this is practical only for small numbers of users; this is a good way to do the minimum setup for initial channel testing.
Allowing users to self-register is also an option, although this is practical only if user interaction with M-Business Anywhere is optional.
Users must have the M-Business Client software installed before they can receive your channel content. There are also a number of different ways to provide users with M-Business Client software:
Users who self-register from the M-Business Server login page will download the M-Business Client software as part of the process. Note that self-registration is not available if NT domain integration is implemented.
Any prospective user can download the M-Business Client software from the M-Business Server login page.
You can e-mail users zipped up executable installer that they can extract locally and run to install the M-Business Client software.
All of the options for adding new users to M-Business Anywhere and providing them with M-Business Client are detailed in Managing Users. NT domain integration is described in External User Authentication.
