Prerequisites

The user creating the new user must have the System Management Module Security rights and ability to update OnBase User Ids.

  1. Define Users window opens in insert mode. Enter the User Id based on what your Company has determined to use for User Ids
  2. Enter the new users full name in the Name field.
  3. Enter the default password for the new User.
  4. In the Server User Id and Password enter the id and password that was given from PENTA Technical Services.
  5. In the OnBase User Id field enter the Users AD User Name. Note: By default OnBase Directory Service Authentication uses the sAMAccountName, so this is what is meant by “AD User Name”.
  6. Enter the OnBase password, this can be the same as the PENTA password in Step 3.
  7. Enter Accounting Entry Authorization Auth level 1 for the user. Users with higher access will be identified.

  12. Navigate to the Group Authorization block, Enter the User’s Security Group. Depending on security either enter an A or S in the All OU Code field.
  13. Navigate to the Job Authorization tab and enter ‘S’ in the All Job Code field. In the bottom block enter the jobs the user has authorization to view.
  14. If the User is an AP User navigate to the AP Check Forms tab and give access to the AP Check Forms.
