Click Users and then click Create.
-
On the User Configuration page, enter the information for the first user: user name:
els-user-1, description:ELS user 1, password:<password>.Enter a password of your choice.
Add this user to the first role that you created (els-role-1):
-
Scroll down the User Configuration page until you see the
els-role-1role you just created. -
Click the box next to
els-role-1to assign the role to the user. -
Click OK to save your changes.
Repeat these steps to create a second user and third user (els-user-2, ELS user 2, els-user-3, ELS user 3). Assign the matching roles to the users. ELS user 3 will not have an assigned role.
See Users in Administrating MarkLogic Server for details on creating users.
