Tutorial: Creating User Accounts

Getting Started

This document will serve as your introduction to creating User Accounts with the Limelight XE console.

Creating a new User ID

To create a new User ID, navigate to the “Account Administration” tab.

In the upper left most window of the "Account Administration" tab, you will find a current list of all your User Accounts.  

  • You may also view deleted accounts by toggling the “Show Deleted Accounts” check box below the account list window.

To add a new User Account select the "Add New Account (+)" button below the account list window.

This will populate a “Create New User” Dialogue box:

  • Enter a unique User ID
  • Optional: Create a password and confirm.
  • Optional: Select an account template.

Once your new account is created it will appear in your list of User Accounts.

New User Accounts will default to “Disabled”.

  • To enable the account, toggle the “Account is Disabled" button in the “Account Settings” tab and click “Apply Changes”.

Account Details Tab

In the account details tab you can:

  • Manage and reset the User Accounts password and password expiration dates.
  • Add and remove local variables tied to the User Account.
  • Control account level privileges and access by assigning the User Account to a group.

Account Groups

You can control and manage account-level privileges and access using the Limelight XE console’s group function.

Here is a breakdown of the default groups in your console:

  • Administrator – Highest level of account privilege. Administrators have the ability to create, edit, and delete all other User Account types including other Administrator accounts. 
  • Manager – Managers can create, edit, and delete Manager, Operator, and User accounts.
  • Operator – Operators can create, edit, and delete Operator and User accounts.
  • User – Lowest level of account privilege. Suitable for non-exempt employees or contractors. No account creation or edit privileges.
