The Users pane of the Security Center lists all users. The Search field in this tab allows you to search the name and description fields for users. Simple wildcard searches are supported. The full range of features that manage users is available only to Managers. Group Administrators can see the Security Center, but can only assign existing users to groups. Basic Users, Advanced Users, and Developers cannot see the Security Center, nor can they create, update, or delete users or assign users to groups.
The toolbar above the User pane allows Managers to perform the following actions:

Users are those individuals who have access to the WebFOCUS Business User Edition, the BUE. Managers and Group Administrators can assign users with similar responsibilities to one of the user type groups that the BUE automatically creates within a domain. This assignment allows users to take advantage of those features and content that supports their daily activities, but prevents them from using features or content that are beyond the range of their responsibilities and authority. The four user types are:
Only a Manager can create a user.
The New User dialog box opens, as shown in the following image.
If you do not enter a description, the description defaults to the name. If you do not select a group and status for the user, the user will be created in the EVERYONE group and assigned the Active status by default.
A Manager can import a .csv file containing multiple users. This can be quicker and more efficient than individually creating multiple users with the New User dialog box.
The import file must contain the following columns: user name, password, description, email address, user status, and groups. A sample .csv import file, getting_started_sample_users.csv, is provided in the BUE file installation directory for your use as a template.
Note: Do not include a header in the user .csv file.
The Import Users dialog box appears.
The new users are created within the specified groups.
Only a Manager can edit user details.
Note: If you select Must Change Password, users will be prompted to change their password when they attempt to sign in.
Only a Manager can delete a user. The action of deleting a user also deletes that user's private content. Be sure to publish or share any private content assigned to that user if it supports ongoing activities.
A confirmation dialog box opens. Click Yes to delete the user.
