Note: In IdP authentication mode, you cannot create users, edit user details, or assign roles in OpenEdge Command Center because the identity provider (IdP) administrator creates and manages users in the IdP portal. The IdP administrator must assign the required app roles in the IdP portal, and OpenEdge Command Center uses these role assignments to control user access.
In local authentication mode, during installation, the first user to be set up is given the super administrator role
Note: New users can be created only after the email settings are configured. See here, Configure email settings.
To add a new user:
  1. Go to Users, and click New User.
  2. Enter the following information:
    • First name
    • Last name
    • Username
    • (Optional) Description
  3. Choose a role from the drop-down list:
    • Administrator—An administrator can create users and perform all actions, but cannot assign a super administrator role.
    • No access—If a user is set to this role, then he or she cannot access the OpenEdge Command Center.
    Note: Information about character length for each field is available inline. Ensure that the details you enter conform to the rules.
  4. An email is sent to the email address entered, and you are prompted to set your login credentials.
After a new user is created, you can view the following information on the Users page on the dashboard:
  • Username
  • Role
  • Email
  • Description (whether the user was created during installation or added as a new user)
  • Created at
  • Last login

By default, columns are sorted by time stamps, but you can sort them as desired.

After you create a new user account, the system does not grant the user access to any remote resources by default. To enable access, you must create a corresponding user in the Authorization server and assign roles using the Authorization server REST APIs. For more information, see Create users and manage roles using Authorization server and Authorization Server REST API Reference guide.
Note: Before using the Authorization server REST APIs, you must authenticate with the OpenEdge Command Center OpenAPI to obtain an authorization token. This token is required to access the Authorization server OpenAPI. For detailed steps, see Log in to Authorization server .

Until you assign roles, the user can access only basic user management operations, such as viewing users and updating their own profile.
