These instructions demonstrate how to create local user accounts. For information
on adding directory service users or groups, see Working with Directory Services (DS). Tip: IBM Aspera Faspex On Demand is automatically configured
with two transfer users: "faspex" and "faspex_source".
-
Go to Accounts.
-
Click New User or select Faspex
User from the Add Account drop-down menu
if directory services are enabled.
-
Enter a username in the Login field.
If an admin creates a user with the same username and email address as an
external user, Faspex merges the external user with this new account. If the new
user shares only an email address with the external user, the two accounts are
not merged. For more information about external users, see
Working with External Senders.
Important: Usernames cannot contain
semi-colons.
-
Enter a valid email address. Faspex uses this email address for email
notifications.
-
If you want to manually set the account password, select Set
password. Enter and confirm a password. The password must
conform to current server password requirements.
By default, Faspex enforces the creation of strong
passwords. Faspex defines strong passwords as passwords that are at least
six characters long, with at least one letter, one number, and one symbol.
You can disable strong passwords by going to Server >
Security and disabling the Use strong
passwords option.
- Optional:
Edit Additional Permissions.
Click the
Edit Additional Permissions link at the
bottom of the form to access additional user settings. These settings include
the following:
- Account Details
- Permissions
- Package Deletion
- Advanced Transfer Settings
- Welcome E-mail
For more information on specific settings, see
Configure User Settings.
-
When finished with the configuration, click Create
Account.
Unless disabled by an admin, Faspex sends a welcome email to every new account. The
email includes a reset password link and a login link for users that already know
their password. The password reset link in the welcome email expires after one week.
Admins can disable the welcome email by going to Server > Configuration >
Security and disabling the Send welcome email to all new
users option.
If you manually set a password, provide the account credentials to the user.
