User Roles§

SmartPTT requires four user groups to implement the following user roles:

  • System Admins,
  • Database Admins
  • Console Admins,
  • Console Operators.

For details, please refer to the dedicated article

Active Directory Users and Groups§

Active Directory users (AD users) and user groups (AD user groups) might be created and managed in one of the following ways:

  • Using tools with graphical user interface.
  • Using PowerShell, an advanced command-line shell.

For instructions on graphical tools, see the following articles:

Examples (PowerShell)§

Danger

All the texts below are provided as examples. None of them is recommended for production purposes.

  • Creation of AD user named User01 with pre-determined password Pass123.

    New-ADUser  -Name 'User01' -Password (ConvertTo-SecureString 'Pass123' -AsPlainText -Force) -Enabled = $true

    The -Enabled parameter enables accounts created over the PowerShell with pre-determined passwords.

  • Creation of AD user group named UserGroup01.

    New-ADGroup -Name 'UserGroup01' -GroupScope Global

  • Addition of AD user User01 to AD user group UserGroup01.

    Add-ADGroupMember -Identity 'UserGroup01' -Members 'User01'

For advanced manipulations with AD users and groups, please refer to the official PowerShell documentation.
