Add User Accounts

Access to Ipswitch Analytics requires a user account. Ipswitch Analytics user accounts are not connected to MOVEit user accounts.

Note: The same user can sign in to Ipswitch Analytics at multiple locations. Users can also share the same email address.

  1. Open the Users module.

    Note: The feeder username is used only for Agent access to the Ipswitch Analytics Server. It has the role of Ipswitch Analytics Agent and no name or email is associated with it. If you entered a different name for the Agent Access Username during Agent installation, it will show a different name. If you change the Agent Access Username or password here, you must modify the Agent and change it there also.

  2. Click Add User. The New user screen displays:

    The table below summarizes the permissions granted to each user role. Ipswitch Analytics modules display at the top of the table.
