Solved: password in create users overview - Qlik Community

ioannaiogr · ‎2021-10-11

Hi all,

I keep trying to create a user and the "Create" button is all greyed out so i can't go forward. I don't know which field I'm filling up wrong; anyway I don't know whose password I should fill in the "Password" field. The domain is auto-filled as it seems with my credentials (admin). The password too. I'm confused are these supposed to be mine or do i put a new one for every user?

After reading https://help.qlik.com/en-US/nprinting/May2021/Content/NPrinting/Recipients&Users/Create-users-filter... i still don't understand what i should put into "Password" field.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I suggest to use a different password for each user.

In Qlik NPrinting a user is an administrator if it has the administrator role associated https://help.qlik.com/en-US/nprinting/May2021/Content/NPrinting/DeployingQVNprinting/Security-manage... so not only the one created during the installation. The installation creates a user called admin with administrator role because there must be at least one administrator. After you can create many different users, give them the administrator role and remove the built in admin user. You cannot delete all users with administrator role, Qlik NPrinting will not let you to delete latest one.

Best Regards,

Hi,

You need to specify also the Time Zone and Locale fields and the Create button will become green also with only the domain user filled without password.

The Password field is used by the Qlik NPrinting authentication. If you left it blank you will not be able to login by using the native method, so I suggest also to fill it with a strong password but it is not mandatory if you already filled the domain user.

The strong password will not be the one i'm using as the administrator to log in, right? Also, should it be different for every new user?
