1. Add a new user

Click the action button and select New User.

Determine if you would like the new user to be GeognoSIS or a Windows user.

Note: (Negotiate authentication only works with Windows users. Basic/Digest authentication only works with GeognoSIS users). Select the type according to your organisation’s needs.

GeognoSIS User

Field	Description
Name	User name
Description	Enter a Description for the account.
Home Directory	Directory where user's configuration files are stored by default. Specify a folder by typing in the path.
Password	Default password for the user. This can be changed later in Properties.
Disabled	Disabling an account prevents the user from logging in. The account doesn’t have to be deleted. Use this option if an employee leaves the organisation but you still need to access their user data.
Super User	Super users have the same privileges as an Administrator; these can be revoked later. Marking a user as a Super User grants them extensive privilege without compromising Administrator credentials. All Administrators are super users by default.
Impersonate Windows Account	Allow another Windows user profile to “impersonate” the profile you have created. This can be particularly useful if you have configured, say 5 SWDs that can be served by WMS. But you wish to deny access to one of the SWDs for a particular customer. To do this set up a new, local Windows account and set the SWD file securities to deny open/read access. Now turn on Digest authentication, create a new GeognoSIS account and assign it the Windows impersonation account you created previously. This means when that particular customer accesses the WMS they will only see 4 SWDs. Other users will see 5 SWDs.

Click Submit.

Windows User

Field	Description
Name	User name
Home Directory	Directory where user's configuration files are stored by default. Specify a folder by typing in the path.
Use the Documents Folder	If you do not want a folder for the Home Directory, enable this option. GeognoSIS will use the default Documents folder.
Disabled	Disabling an account prevents the user from logging in. The account need not be deleted. Use this option if an employee leaves the organisation but you still need to access their user data.
Super User	Super users have the same privileges as an Administrator; these can be revoked later. Marking a user as a Super User grants them extensive privilege without compromising Administrator credentials. All Administrators are super users by default.
