Create groups and add users

Using ARM, you can create standardized groups quickly and easily using standard templates included with the application.

You can generate as many of your own templates as required. SolarWinds recommends using customized templates as a foundation as this simplifies, standardizes and speeds up the process.

1. Log in to the Access Rights Manager application.

2. In the toolbar, click Start.

3. Under User Provisioning, click Create new user or group.

4. In the Create Accounts window, select a group template and then click Select.

   

5. In the Create account within Active Directory window, configure the account.

   1. Enter the group name and description.

      

   2. Click the OU Selection link and update (if required).

      

   3. Maximize Group Scope and select the group scope.

      

   4. Maximize Group Type and select the group type.

      

   5. Maximize Members and add the new users.

      

   6. Click the Credentials link and select the credentials for creating the new Active Directory group.

      

   7. (Required) Enter a comment about the new account.

      Sensitive administrative actions should contain an explanation why the account is being created and/or what it is for. SolarWinds recommends adding a ticket number and details about who requested the account creation.
