Creating a Local User
Go to the Admin Console page (click the Owl -> click the Gear -> click Admin Console).
Click on “Users” and you will see the screenshot below.
When on the “Admin Configuration” tab (NOTICE: Active Directory tab is disabled because we have not enabled AD at this point) click the “Add User” Button to bring you to the below screenshot.
Enter the necessary information.
Email needs to conform to xxx@xxx.xxx
Passwords need to be at least 5 characters long
When complete click “Add User”. Notice the banner saying
Notice that the user we just created is currently NOT ENABLED. Click on the newly created user by clicking on the username link and toggle the enabled check box to enable the user account (so that the user can log into the owl-web application). At this point log out of the user whom you are currently logged in as (by clicking on the user account displayed in the top right corner of the screen) and log in as the newly created user. (REMEMBER: you may need to restart the owl-web by running ./owlmanage.sh restart_owlweb --- if you haven’t).
