Resolution/Fix/Answer

Note: if you do not have access to OnBase Configuration, please log a Service Desk Ticket and Reference this article.

  • You can copy the existing User Group in OnBase Configuration Via Users>>User Groups & Rights>>Select User Group to copy.  Otherwise you can create a new User Group.  However, you will have to manually add the privileges, product rights, document types, etc.

     
  • Select all settings to copy and select Copy


  • Perform a Cache Reset via Utils>>Service Monitoring>>Reset Cache


  • Log into Penta and go to Security Management>>Security>>Security Groups


  • Enter a Group # and Name that is not currently in use; it is always a good idea to keep the Name and OnBase Name consistent


  • Choose Copy from Group and select all Copy items


  • Set the OnBase Name (Call it the same name as your created OnBase User Group)


  • Go into Define Users and add the new Security Group to the user in Penta

  • Verify that the Security/User Group has been added to the user in OnBase via Users>>User Names / Passwords>>Select User>>Select User Groups.
    If the User/Security Group was added to the user, it means the Penta and OnBase User Group are mapped correctly.
