Adding Users in LDAP or SSO Authentication Mode

Previous TopicNext TopicContents

If P6 is configured for LDAP or SSO authentication mode you add users with the Add Users From LDAP dialog box.

To add users in LDAP or SSO authentication mode:

Notes:

  1. Either click the Load LDIF button, or enter an LDAP query (for example, uid=*) under Search users. If a search was previously performed by a user with the privilege to search the LDAP directory, the last query entered by that user will appear.
  2. If you clicked the Load LDIF button, browse to the location of the LDIF file, and click Open. If you entered an LDAP query, click Search.

    Note: Depending on your P6 administrative configuration settings, you might be prompted to log into the LDAP server.

    A list of users appears, grouped by status. For example, LDAP repository users that do not exactly match P6 EPPM users are grouped together. If users exist in the LDAP repository, the User Name, Actual Name, E-mail, and Phone fields are populated (if you previously mapped those fields through the Primavera P6 Administrator settings).

    Note: The User Name field is equivalent to the Login Name field in P6. The Actual Name field is equivalent to the Personal Name field.

  3. Select the option next to each user account that you wish to import, or select the option in the fields bar to select all users. New and modified users are automatically selected.
    1. If you are importing from LDAP:
      1. Click the Copy preferences from (optional): button.
      2. In the Select a User dialog box, select the user whose settings you want to apply to the imported users. Click OK.
    2. If you are importing from LDAP:
      1. Select the Create resources from imported users option to save time and effort in creating resources.
      2. In the Select Parent Resource dialog box, select the resource where you want create the new resources. Click Add.

        Note: If you selected the Create resources from imported users option, the resources are created and the Associated Resource column is populated when you save the changes in the User Access page.

  4. Click Import.
  5. On the Users page, click Save.
