Add Users and Groups

Contacts

The Contacts node in the Navigator pane contains the Users and Groups sub-nodes. Create and maintain Users and Groups for notification purposes.

Note:  At least one User is required for SQL Sentry to send notifications. For notifications, we recommend that you use Groups with nested Users. 

Adding a New User

Add a new user with the Add a User tab. To open the Add a User tab, complete one of the following steps:

Double-click the Users node ( Contacts > Users) in the Navigator pane.

Or right-click the Users node (Contacts > Users) in the Navigator pane, and then select New.
SQL Sentry select the Users node

Enter the user's first and last name, email address, optional pager address (SMTP-based), and an optional description in their respective fields. Enter a login in the domain/user format that will be used for SQL Sentry Portal authentication.

Note:  Add as many users and groups as you want at this point. Groups are optional.

Select Save once you've finished adding new users.
