Adding Local Users

Administrators can create IBM Aspera Shares on Demand user accounts that are automatically added to the local database. For DS users, see Importing DS Users. After creating local users you can add them to a local Shares on Demand group.

  1. Go to Admin > Accounts > Users and click New.
  2. Enter the following details:
    • First Name
    • Last Name
    • Username
    • Email Address
  3. Set user password. You can do so in one of two ways:
    • Choose Send login link in welcome email: Send a login link through a welcome email that guides the new user to set a password.
    • Choose Set password: Set a temporary password on the user's behalf. Select Send welcome email to send the new user an email with the new account's username and password. Select Prompt to change password on first login to force the new user to change the account password on first login.
  4. Click Create User.
After creating a user, you are redirected to the user's Security settings. From this page, you can also access the user's groups, shares, and transfer settings, the user's preferences, and the user's activity logs. For more information, see Configure User Settings.
