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 (Modify an Ipswitch Analytics Agent, https://docs.ipswitch.com/MOVEit/Analytics2.1/Help/Admin/en/index.htm#28697.htm) and change it there also.

2. Click Add User. The New user page appears:
3. Provide the following information:

   Username: A unique alphanumeric username. Names are case-sensitive. Duplicate names are not allowed, but you can reuse the name of a user who has been deleted..

   Role drop-down list: The user's Role controls access to Ipswitch Analytics modules and Ipswitch Analytics report types, and allows the following actions:

   • Partner: View Transfer and Workflow reports in the Library.
   • Monitor: View the Monitor.
   • Reader: View the Monitor; view Transfer and Workflow reports in the Library.
   • Creator: View the Monitor; view Transfer and Workflow reports in the Library; create reports in the Templates and Schedule tabs. This role is for users whose main purpose is to create reports.

     Note: A ruleset can limit the MOVEit sources that a Creator can access when creating and running templates, and when creating schedules.

   • Administrator: Access all Ipswitch Analytics modules except the SETTINGS > System tab; view all report types, including User Audit and Security reports; create rulesets, assign rulesets to schedules.
   • System Administrator: Full access: manage all system settings and access all areas of Ipswitch Analytics.

     Caution: Assign users to the System Administrator role with caution. Only System Administrators can manage system-wide settings in the Settings module, and can access all areas of Ipswitch Analytics.

   The table shows each role, its permissions, and the accessible Ipswitch Analytics modules.

   

   Follow your organization's accepted security practices when assigning roles.

   Password: The field shows a suggested password. Do one of the following:

   • Keep the suggested password (no action required).
