Creating a new USER in CIS (web-service)

In this training article, we shall see how to create a new user in Composite by executing the build-in Composite Web Service.

1. Login into Composite using admin credentials or a User having MODIFY_ALL_USER and ACCESS_TOOLS Rights
    (I shall post about Rights and Privileges of Composite Users in future Posts)

 

2. After you login the page is divided into two panels. In the left panel you can see Desktop (Work Area)
    Navigate (Double-Click) to the following path
    Composite Data Services->Web Services->system->admin->user->operations->Bunch of operations under this

3. Right click on createUser and click Open as shown
   
  
4. When createUser operation is opened, there is an Execute button icon in the second pane as shown. Click on that icon which opens up an XML Document

5.  Edit the XML Document as required. Lets say if we want to create a composite user with these credentials
Domain: composite
UserName: rajesh
Password: rajesh

The XML Document will look like this:
<user:createUser xmlns:user="http://www.compositesw.com/services/system/admin/user">
  <user:domainName>composite</user:domainName>
  <user:userName>rajesh</user:userName>
  <user:password>rajesh</user:password>
  <user:explicitRights></user:explicitRights>
  <user:annotation>Software_Engineer</user:annotation>
</user:createUser>

Annotation is like a comment you would like to add for this user and explicit rights are rights to assign to a user (Will post about user rights in composite at a later stage.)

Click ok and your new user is created in Composite.

Creating a USER in COMPOSITE through CIS MANAGER

In this post I am going to show you how to create a USER in Composite through Composite Manager

There are basically two ways you could create a USER in Composite.

1. Through Composite Manager
2. Executing the in-build web-service

Creating a User through Composite Manager

1. Login into Composite using admin credentials or a User having MODIFY_ALL_USER Rights
    (I shall post about Rights and Privileges of Composite Users in future Posts)

If you have just installed Composite you admin credentials would be
UserName: admin
Password  : admin



2. Launch COMPOSITE Manager (Web Option) from Composite Studio

   
3. It will ask you for login credentials again on the Web page. Enter the same admin credentials


4. After you LOGIN (Web) as Admin, you can see 5 Tabs namely, MONITORING, LOGGING, USERS, AUTHENTICATION, CONFIGURATION on the right side of the page. The USERS tab is the one to create users in Composite. Click on User Management in the USERS Tab as shown.


5. On the User Management Page, you can see "Add User" Icon as shown below. Click on that Icon.


6. When you click on the Add User Icon, a page will pop up as shown below,


7. Enter these Credentials (Edit them according to your requirement) 
User name: rajesh (Enter as Required)
New password:  (Type Password)
Confirm password: (Re-Type Password)
User Rights: For Now just select Developer in the DropDown Box and few of the check boxes will be       highlighted (Will Post about User Rights and Templates in later Posts but for now just select Developer in Template Drop-Down)
Annotation: Type some value. It is like Comments. So type in any information (Eg: Designation of User like Software_Engineer or System_Adminstrator Etc)

    Click OK and your new User is created in Composite.
