Create a new user account

To participate in a CollabNet TeamForge site, a person must have a user account on that site. CollabNet TeamForge administrators can create these user accounts.

Note: If your CollabNet TeamForge installation authenticates against an LDAP directory, CollabNet TeamForge administrators cannot create new user accounts. On a site with LDAP authentication, each user must log into CollabNet TeamForge using his or her LDAP user name and password.
  1. Click Admin in the site navigation bar.
  2. On the site administration navigation bar, click Users.
  3. On the Create User page, enter a user name for the user.
    Note: Your user name must meet these criteria:
    • 1 to 31 characters.
    • Only alphanumeric characters.
    • No spaces.
    • At least one letter.
    • The first character is a letter.
  4. Enter and confirm a password for the user.
  5. Enter the user's full name and email address.
    Note: Unlike with user self-registration, the email address is not validated before creating the account.
  6. Select the user's license type.
    • An SCM license enables the user who holds it to use the core TeamForge source-code management tools.
    • An ALM license enables the user who holds it to use the full range of TeamForge features: both the core source-code management tools and the extended application lifecycle management functionality.
  7. Choose a user type.
    • CollabNet TeamForge administrator - Administrators have unlimited access to all data in CollabNet TeamForge .
    • Restricted user - Restricted users can only access projects of which they are members.
    You can choose only one user type for each user.
    Note: If you do not select Restricted user, the user will be unrestricted. Unrestricted users can access all projects that have not been made private by a project administrator.
  8. To send a welcome message to the user, select Send Welcome Message.
  9. Click Create.
The user account is created.
