5.2 Creating a User

For testing purposes or for a very small Novell Vibe site, you can create each Vibe user manually.

  1. Log in as the Vibe administrator.

  2. Click the Settings icon Kablink Teaming administrator’s personal workspace in the upper right corner of the page, then click the Administration Console icon Kablink Teaming administrator’s personal workspace.

  3. In the Management section, click User Accounts.

  4. In the Add Account tab, provide the user’s information, then click OK.

  5. Specify at least the user ID, password, first name, and last name.

  6. (Optional) Provide useful information in the additional fields for the new user.

  7. Click OK, then click Close to return to the administrator’s workspace.

    If you click the Workspace tree icon Kablink Teaming administrator’s personal workspace, then expand Personal Workspaces, you see that the workspace for the user you just created does not exist yet. Workspaces are not created for users until the users log in for the first time.

  8. Click the Settings icon Kablink Teaming administrator’s personal workspace in the upper right corner of the page, then lick Log Out to log out as the Vibe administrator.

  9. On the login page, provide the username and password for the Vibe user you just created, then click OK to log in to the Vibe site.

  10. Click My Workspace in the Action toolbar to see the workspace for the new user.

    As each new user logs into the Vibe site, a personal workspace is created.

  11. Click Log Out to leave the new user’s personal workspace.
