There are two types of user accounts:

  • 'Built-in' user accounts — these are stored in the local database for FishEye/Crucible.
  • 'External' user accounts — these are stored in an external directory (e.g. LDAP), if configured. See Configuring External Authentication Sources.

Note regarding external directories:

  • New users can only be added if they already exist in the external directory. Your external directory will not be modified.
  • If you have enabled 'auto-add' for your external directory, users who don't exist locally in FishEye/Crucible will be automatically added the first time they log in to Crucible.

To add a new user:

  1. In the Admin area, click Users under 'User Settings'.
  2. Click Add user at the bottom of the screen.
  3. Configure the following settings:

    UsernameType the user's login name. You can use the following characters:
