In this section:
Manually Adding Users
New users are added to the PST Basic Access group by default. Members of this group can log into DTP, but they cannot view data or use any other DTP functionality. You can add new users to projects (see Adding Teams to Projects) or configure their permissions and/or group membership (see Configuring User Permissions and Groups) to enable users to interact with data and/or DTP functionality.
- Open the User Administration screen and click Add User.
Enter the new user’s information (username and password are required) when prompted.
About Password Characters
User credentials enable Parasoft code analysis and testing tools (i.e., C/C++test, dotTEST, Jtest, and SOAtest) to connect to DTP. These tools can run in an IDE or on the command line. If run from the command line, characters are limited to alphanumeric characters and hyphens for passwords. Refer to your Parasoft tool's documentation for additional information.
Click Create to add the user to the database.
Case Sensitivity
By default, user names are case sensitive (e.g., "JohnSmith", "johnSmith", and "johnsmith" are all different users). You can change user login case sensitivity by setting the <case-sensitive> property in the PSTRootConfig.xml configuration file to false and restarting DTP. The file is located in the <DTP_DATA>/conf/ directory.
<root-config>/<case-sensitive>false</case-sensitive>
This setting affects all functionality related to user names.
Configuring User Permissions and Group Membership
After adding users to the database, you can configure their permissions and group membership (see Configuring User Permissions and Groups).
Importing Users
You can configure DTP to connect to your LDAP server so that you can easily import users from your directories. See Configuring LDAP for details.
Deleting Users from the Database
- Click the delete button (trash icon) next to the user you want to delete.
- Click Confirm when prompted to finish deleting the user.
Editing a User
- Click on the user you want to edit.
- Click the General to change profile information, such as password, name, and email.
- Click the Permissions & Groups tab to change access to DTP functionality. See Configuring User Permissions and Groups.
- Click Save to commit the changes or click Cancel to exit the edit user page without saving.
