NPrinting Users from Excel

mstoler — Mon, 29 Aug 2022 19:45:21 GMT

Hello,

If I want to import users and only have then use Windows Authentication can I leave the password value in Excel Blank?

My goal is to setup a group of users from On Demand only and allow them to run a report. I have already created the role to give them access to the report.

I don't want or need to have them login with a username. I only need them to run On Demand and I want to only use Windows Authentication.

Thank You,

Michael

After some testing, yes you can.

I added a user account manually in the web console with no password.

You get a message that (NPrinting Security) authentication won't be possible if a blank password is use.

This means that a blank password can't be used to open the account using email address and password.

From there I can however login with the blue Windows Auth button successfully.

caveat

I didn't test with a blank password in the import file.

Kind regards..

Suggest testing before deploying system wide.

Kind regards...

Hello,

I did a test with a single user and it seems to work.

Thanks,
