Managing users in Manager

The Security module in ArcGIS Server Manager contains a Users page where you can view and manage the users allowed to administer and access resources on ArcGIS Server.

The features available on this page vary depending on where your users are managed. If users are in the ArcGIS Server built-in store, you can add, modify, and delete users in Manager. If users are managed in an enterprise identity provider, such as LDAP or Active Directory, you can only view the list of users. You cannot add new users or modify a user's information.

To view and manage users in Manager, select one of the topics listed below:

• Viewing users
• Searching for a user
• Adding a new user
• Modifying a user
• Deleting a user

Viewing users

To view the users in your identity store, follow the steps below.

1. Open Manager and log in. If you need help with this step, see Logging in to Manager.
2. Click Security > Users.

Manager only displays the first 1,000 users in your identity store. However, Manager offers a Search tool that you can use to locate and view the properties of a user. This is especially convenient when your identity store contains a large number of users. To find a user using the Search tool, see the next section in this topic.

Note:

On the Users page, only users belonging to the same domain as the ArcGIS Server site are displayed. To view users belonging to other domains, you will need to use the Search tool.

Finding a user with the Search tool

To search for a user in Manager, follow the steps below.

1. Open Manager and log in. If you need help with this step, see Logging in to Manager.
2. Click Security > Users.
3. Enter the username or full name of the user you want to locate in the Find User dialog box.

   Note:

   If users are managed in an enterprise identity provider, such as LDAP or Active Directory, you can also enter the first few characters of the user name or use the asterisk (*) character to replace one or more characters in the user name. For example, to locate a user named John Smith, you can use the search string "Jo*th", "*Smith" or "John*".

   Note:

   The search string [user name] only locates users belonging to the same domain as the ArcGIS Server site. To locate a specific user in a different domain, use the search string [domain]\[user name]. To list of all the users in a different domain, use the search string [domain]\.

4. Click the Search button to view the results of your query.

Deleting a user

You can delete a user in Manager by following the steps below.

Note:

If users are managed in an enterprise identity provider, such as LDAP or Active Directory, you will need to use that product's user management tool to delete users.

1. Open Manager and log in as the primary site administrator or a user with administrative access. If you need help with this step, see Logging in to Manager.
2. Click Security > Users.
3. Click the Delete button corresponding to that user.
4. Click Yes in the confirmation dialog box to delete the user from the identity store.
