To add a License Statistics user account:

1. In the User Management pageAccounts page, click the Add button below the User Management Accounts table.
   A Create License Statistics User Account dialog opens, with the General tab open.
   Initially, you must proceed through the tabs by using the Next button after you've filled filling in the required information in the tab. As you proceed through each tab of the dialog, you will be able to directly open the tabs and change any information as needed.
   
2. In the General tab, fill out the fields as appropriate for the user account you are adding:
   1. The user's name (usually the actual first and last name of the user).
   2. The username that will be used to login log in to License Statistics. This username will also be used to identify the "logged in" user account (shown in the upper right corner of the application window).
   3. Optionally, an email address for the useraccount.
      
   4. Assign either the "Administrator" or "User" role to the useraccount.
      The "Administrator" role has the ability to create new usersaccounts, edit license server information, and remove license servers from the list of monitored servers.
      The "User" role only allows viewing the usage information and does not include any administrative or editing privileges.
      
   5. If you have enabled LDAP, you can check the "Authenticate using LDAP" option to authenticate the user name username using LDAP. If you use LDAP authentication, you do not enter the password for the useraccount. (Also see the notes below regarding LDAP.)
   6. Enter the password for the useraccount, and then re-enter the password to confirm it.
3. Click Next when you have completed all required fields. The Permissions tab will open.
   
4. Under the Permissions tab, select whether the user account will be allowed to control the visibility of license servers and features. This setting affects only the useraccount's own visibility settings and will not affect other usersaccounts. If you do not allow the user account to control license server/feature visibility, he or she the account won't be able to access visibility settings.
5. Click Next. The License Server Visibility tab will open. 
   This tab shows lists of Visible License Servers and Hidden License Servers. 
6. Specify which license servers the user account will be allowed to see by selecting the license servers and then clicking the Hide/Show buttons to move items between the two lists.
7. Click Next. The Feature Visibility tab will open. 
8. Select a license server from the Select License Server drop-down to see the visible and hidden features for that license server.
9. Specify which features the user account will be allowed to see by selecting the features and then clicking the Hide/Show buttons to move items between the two lists.

• If you enable LDAP and then subsequently disable LDAP, the user account logins will fail.
• If you disable LDAP authentication in on the LDAP Configuration page, the "Authenticate using LDAP" option will be disabled in on the User Management Accounts page. If the "Authenticate using LDAP" option is disabled, the user credentials will be taken from the License Statistics database or you may enter the credentials in the User Management Account form.
  
• The administrator login that is initially created by License Statistics (username: admin) cannot use LDAP authentication.
