Note that these roles can't be modified. In addition, the default administrator user can't be edited or disabled.

To create a new user:
- Go to Configuration and click Users.
- Click Create a new user.
- You have to enter the following:
- Username (can contain alphanumeric characters and underscores only)
- Display name (no restrictions)
- Role (choose from one of the three roles)
- Enabled (specify whether this user is active, i.e. able to use Data Studio)
Note that you can add as many users as you want but the number of active users you can have will depend on your license. Once your user limit is reached, you won't be able to set users to Enabled.
You can also group users for easier management by assigning them to teams. Users with the Administrator role will be automatically assigned to the Administrators team, all other users to the Initial group. You can modify this as required.
Authentication mechanism
This is the method of authentication that will be used. The following options are available:
- Aperture Data Studio internal – use this for users requiring access to Data Studio only, without any additional authentication.
- LDAP and MS Active Directory (AD) server – use this to allow users to log in with their LAN IDs (fill in the LDAP username field). If this option is not available, go to Configuration > All server settings and enable LDAP properties. Find out how to configure LDAP.
To manage user details, go to Configuration > Users. Right-click on the required user to edit their details/change password or disable them.
