Page Heading create account
Account Information Form Specify properties for the new account.
Username The username for the new account. Must have at least one (1) character, and must not be associated with an existing hub user account. They are case sensitive (this is so that international character sets can be accommodated).
Email The email address to be associated with the account.
Password A password for the new account.
Under default hub settings, a password must meet the following minimum requirements.
  • Minimum length: 12 characters
  • Minimum number of character classes (e.g. 'upper case', 'lower case', 'digit'): 3
If the hub password policy has been modified, a different set of constraints may apply.
Verify Password A field for re-entering the password. Must match the password entered in the Password field.
Template User The template to use in creating the new account.
This field is only available if you have G_ADMINISTER_USERS or G_MANAGE_USERS permission. Otherwise, the template for the new account will be the default template user.
Enabled Select to assign the special Enabled role to the new user account, (in addition to assigning all roles held by the template user).
Being assigned the Enabled role is sufficient to guarantee that the new user will have G_SIGN_IN permission, but note that:
  • the user will also need at least one of at least one of G_SIGN_IN_CERTIFICATE, G_SIGN_IN_PASSWORD in order to sign in, and
  • if an administrator has added further role-permissions to the Enabled role, those will also apply.
Create account button Create a new account with the information provided, where other properties are copied from the template user.
Standard Footer See GUI Reference: Standard Footer.

Create A New Account

To create a new hub user account:

  1. Enter the username for the new user into the Username field.
  2. Enter the user's contact email address in the Email Address field.
  3. Enter the initial password for the new user into the Password field.
  4. Enter the initial password into the Verify Password field.
  5. If you have a Template User menu, select the user account that you want to use as the template for the new account.
    You will not have a Template User menu if you don't have G_ADMINISTER_USERS or G_MANAGE_USERS permission. In this case, the new account will be based on the default template user.
  6. Select Enabled if you want to assign the Enabled role to the new account, otherwise deselect it.
    Being assigned the Enabled role is sufficient to guarantee that the new user will have G_SIGN_IN permission, but note that:
  7. Click Create account.
If all goes well: The new account will be created, and CodeSonar will display a confirmation message.
Otherwise: If there is a problem with any of the information provided (see the requirements above for details), CodeSonar will print a warning message instead of creating the new account. At this point, the options are:
  • Try again: use the information in the warning message to correct the problematic field or fields, then click Create account.
  • Abandon account creation: use your browser's Back functionality to go back to an earlier page, or select Home from the page header to go to the Home page.
