Pre-Configuring LDAP User Permissions

If LDAP-authenticated users connect to the repository without any preparation, they will automatically create repository accounts, but may not have appropriate permissions. You can manually create accounts for LDAP-authorized users and assign permissions for them, so that everything is in place for them before they connect for the first time.

  1. Select Repository > Administration > Users to open the List of Users.
  2. Click the Add a Row tool, and enter an appropriate name for the user in the Full Name column.
  3. Enter the user's LDAP login in the Login Name column, and select the checkbox in the X column to specify that he is an externally-validated user.
  4. Click the Properties tool to open the property sheet of the user and then click the Groups tab to add him to any appropriate groups (see Adding Users and Groups to a Group).
