Create user

Create a user manually.

This article describes how an operator creates a user in Smart ID Identity Manager. Read more here: Smart ID Workforce use cases.

The created user will, as default, get a password and have the Self-Service and the Operator role. See also the "Prerequisites" section.

Prerequisites

  • The default roles must have been uploaded, read more here: Users
