For simplicity, this example shows how to set up password-based authentication. Helix Core also supports more sophisticated security mechanisms. See Securing the server in Helix Core Server Administrator Guide.

Follow the instructions and best practices in the video at Configuring Users and Groups with P4Admin or use the instructions below.

  1. In Helix Admin, on the Home tab, click Create new group.

  2. In the Group: New dialog, in the Group field, enter a name, such as testers, and, in the User field, enter a name, such as tester1, then click Add.

  3. Add additional members to the group, if you want, then click OK.

  4. In the Users & Groups tab, verify that the testers group has members.

  5. To create a user for the group, right-click the Group member, and select Create User.

  6. In the User: New dialog, provide a name for the User, an initial Password, a Full Name, set the Type to standard, and click OK.

  7. Create any other users you want.

    Tip

    Keep a record of the user names and initial passwords so you can inform your users how to log in. You users can change their passwords when they are logged in.
