User creation wizard

5.2. User creation wizard#

The user creation wizard streamlines account creation for functional administrators by requiring only essential user information. After reading this page, you know how to create user accounts quickly, configure password options including email invitations, and customize the wizard’s behavior for your environment. The user creation wizard is part of the Users management module in the Management UI.

To create a user account through the user creation wizard, use the following steps:

  1. To open the wizard, open the Users module and click Add. Select a user template or keep the selection at None. Click Next.

  2. Provide values for the mandatory fields Last name and User name. Fill in the optional fields as you like, and as shown in Fig. 5.1. Click Next.

  3. Define a user password.

    Alternatively, you can also delegate the definition of the password to the user with an invitation through email. For more information, see User creation wizard in Univention Corporate Server - Manual for users and administrators [2].

    For additional properties to control the user account setup, such as invite users or change password on next sign-in, see conf-users-creation-wizard-account-properties in Univention Nubus for Kubernetes - Operation Manual [1].

  5. To save the user account, click Create user.
