Add CAM Users

[jim wood]

Guys,

I have a quick gander at the web and I can't find anything easily. Is there a way to manually add a CAM user before they have logged on? Normally they appear upon their first logon attempt. I wondered if just inserting a client including the namespace would work but of course that is just an alias for the actual CAM ID,

Jim.

I don't quite get it. Can't you add users through Clients/Groups interface?

Local user yes, CAM users no. We can add CAM groups, but when we go in to add user we only get the groups still rather than individual users.

Hi Jim,

When you go to add users and the CAM screen comes up there should be a tick box in the top left that says "Show users in the list", if you tick that then you should be able to find the CAM users.
Its annoying that this isn't ticked by default since you have already told it that you are wanting to add users.

Thanks Declan. When I go in I get 2 options: Active Directory or Cognos. Cognos only contains groups where as all users in active directory. That's where the fun begins, the client I'm at has literally thousands of employees and they never remove anybody from AD. It's like trying find a needle in a hay stack. What we've agreed is we are going to run a process twice a day that will pick up new logons and allocate them to any needed local groups accordingly. The number of times this will happen is so small the business are willing to live with the pain.

Here you go, don't you have this option in your AD?
And there is another way, go to you AD and click on search link at the upper right corner, you can find individual user as well.

Hi PA TM1 users

You can use the AddClient() TI function
Something like this in Prolog:

Code: Select all

AddClient('CAMID("userNamespace:u:cn=userName")');

And then you can set the display name in the Epilog:
AttrPutS( 'userName', '}Clients', 'CAMID("userNamespace:u:cn=userName")', '}TM1_DefaultDisplayValue' );

You can check any existing CAM users to see their CAMID as an example.
