4.2 Adding a person

You can import a person's details from a linked directory into the MyID database.

4.2.1 Adding a person from a directory

To add a person to the MyID database from a directory:

1. Search for a person in a directory, and view their details.

   See section 4.1, Searching for a person for details.

2. Click EDIT PERSON.

3. Make any appropriate changes, then click SAVE.

   The person is added to the MyID database. The person is added to an existing group if a MyID group matches their directory group.

   Note: If a matching group does not already exist in MyID, you are unable to set any roles.

   You can also configure MyID to assign roles to a person based on their LDAP group membership; these roles are automatically assigned in addition to any group default roles when you add a person or change a person's group through directory synchronization. For information on setting this up, see the Linking roles to LDAP section in the Administration Guide.

You can now:

• Edit the person's account.

  See section 4.3, Editing a person.

• Request a device for the person.

  See section 4.4, Requesting a device for a person.

• Synchronize the person's account from the directory.

  See section 4.5, Synchronizing a person.
