Listing and Adding Users

The user list enables an administrator to assign access to features and apps.

Note This feature is not available with a Community licence..

If you have selected Full LDAP integration, you can only add local User accounts. For more, see Xpress Insight Installation Guide Chapter Authenticating Users with Active Directory or LDAP.

1. To add a user, click Add User to display the Add user page.
   
   

   

   
   
2. Modify the following information:

   Field	Description
   Username **	The name the user will use to access the application. In subsequent authentication attempts, it will be evaluated in a case-insensitive way.
   Local account**	Indicates whether the user will log in with a local user account. Local users authenticate with Xpress Insight only if LDAP is enabled. Note If Full LDAP integration is enabled, the Local accounts enabled checkbox in the LDAP tab is disabled. The checkbox is displayed as read only. Note If the Local accounts enabled checkbox in the LDAP tab is disabled, users with a Local account will be blocked from logging into Xpress Insight.
   First name	The given first name of the user. Validation: Min length: 1 Max length: 200 Allowed characters: alpha-numeric, spaces, hyphen (-), open quote (‘) and close quote (’)
   Last name	The last name of the user. Validation: Min length: 1 Max length: 200 Allowed characters: alpha-numeric, spaces, hyphen (-), open quote (‘) and close quote (’)
   Password	The password to use to access the application. Leaving this field blank indicates that the password should not be changed. If a value is entered, then it must be at least 8 characters long.
   Retype password	This must match what was entered into the Password field.
   Email	Email address of the user. Validation: Must match the standard email address format.
   Enabled**	Indicates whether the user account is enabled.
   Locked	Indicates whether the user account is locked.
   Tableau enabled **	Indicates whether the user can access Tableau from within the Web Client. Note This controls whether the user can see the Tableau views within an app. This is overridden by the Enabled flag set in the Tableau tab. Note In the Managed by Xpress Insight Tableau user management mode, when changes are saved, Xpress Insight will attempt to update the user within Tableau. The Tableau user management mode is controlled through the Tableau tab.
   Tableau username **	The account that Xpress Insight will use to authenticate with Tableau when showing a Tableau view within the Web Client. Validation: Must be populated if Tableau enabled is selected. Spaces, back slashes, quotes, commas, semicolons and control characters are not allowed. Note In Managed by Xpress Insight Tableau user management mode, this field is disabled and automatically populated by Xpress Insight. The Tableau user management mode is controlled through the Tableau tab. Important In Managed manually mode, ensure that the Tableau username entered matches exactly, including case, with the corresponding user in Tableau.
   Sync Tableau Password	If the Tableau user management mode is Managed by Xpress Insight, this option is shown. When checked, the password of the associated Tableau account is synchronized with the Xpress Insight user account the next time the user logs in. Note If LDAP is enabled, passwords will not be synchronized with Tableau. It is assumed that Tableau is configured with Active Directory.
   Authority groups **	This is a drop-down menu through which one or more authority groups can be selected. When an authority group is selected, it appears below the drop-down. Clicking the delete icon next to the authority group removes it from the list of selected authority groups and places it back into the list of selectable authority groups.
   Apps **	This is a drop-down menu through which one or more apps can be selected. When an app is selected, it appears below the drop-down. Clicking the delete icon next to the app removes it from the list of selected apps and places it back into the list of selectable apps. Note This information displays the apps that the user has direct membership to. A user with APP_ALL authority can access any app.

   **Denotes those fields that you will see if you are using LDAP authentication.

3. Click Save Changes.
   There is a setting to specify the Tableau data source in the Tableau Configuration tab. If the user management mode is set to Managed by Xpress Insight, user accounts added to or removed from an Authority group which features the WORKBOOK_PUBLISH authority will have the corresponding Tableau user account updated and the publish access right will be updated accordingly.

   Note Any saved changes to a user's authority rights and app membership are updated intermediately within the Xpress Insight server. These changes are not reflected for users who launched Xpress Insight during the update. For example, if you revoke certain authorities for a user after the user has launched Xpress Insight, the user may still see menu options that are no longer available to that user. In these instances, the Xpress Insight server will prevent the user performing any task that requires a revoked authority.. Once the user exits Xpress Insight and re-logs back in, these updates will be reflected in the client interface for that user.
