This section describes how to create local users.

To create a local user

1. Navigate to Users & Access Control > Local Users and click .

   Figure 82: Users & Access Control > Local Users — Creating local users

   

2. Enter the username in the User field.

   NOTE: For the username of SSH users, only valid UTF-8 strings are allowed.

   The following characters cannot be used in usernames: <>\/[]:;|=,+*?

3. Enter a password for the user in the Password and Verify password fields.

   The strength of the password is indicated below the Password field, as you type. To set a policy for password strength, see Setting password policies for local users. The user can change the password later from the SPS web interface, and you can modify the password of the user here.

   Use strong passwords: at least 8 characters that include numbers, letters, special characters, and capital letters. For local One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) users, require the use of strong passwords (set Users & Access Control > Login options > Minimal password strength to strong). For more information, see "Setting password policies for local users" in the Administration Guide.

   NOTE: One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) accepts passwords that are not longer than 150 characters and supports the following characters:

   • Letters A-Z, a-z

   • Numbers 0-9

   • The space character

   • Special characters: !"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<>=?@[]\^-`{}_|

   NOTE: If possible, use a random password generator.

   To create a strong password:

   • Use special characters

   • Use long passwords

   • Mix uppercase and lowercase letters

   For strong passwords, do not use:

   • Personal information in the passwords

   • Sequential letters or numbers

   • The word password as the password

   • Keyboard paths (for example, qwerty)

4. Click in the Groups section and select a group that the user will be a member of. Repeat this step to add the user to multiple groups.

   You can also modify the group membership of local users here.

   To remove a user from a group, click next to the group.

5. To save the modifications, click Commit.
