Creating Users
You can use the create users feature to add a new user, with detailed information, or add a non-realm user. You must select a user name to create a user. Other information is not required, but may be added at a later time, if necessary. You can only create one user at a time.
To create a new Windchill RV&S user in the GUI
1. From the Users view, select > . The Create User dialog box displays.
2. In the Name field, type a user name.
This must be the same as the system login name the user logs into the realm with. The Name field allows up to 49 alphanumeric characters. User names can only contain ISO Latin 1-1 characters.

• You should not use commas, colons, or special characters in user or group names. If you use commas in the user name, you cannot select the user in a multi-valued user field. If you use colons in the user name, the user cannot edit shared workflow and document objects (charts, queries, reports, and dashboards).
• Me and System are symbolic names reserved for Windchill RV&S. Do not create these user names.
• Windchill RV&S supports user names and login IDs containing the @ character. To use the @ character, you must be running the latest version of Windchill RV&S server, Windchill RV&S client , and all Windchill RV&S proxies.

If you are creating or editing e-mail notification for specific users, you must deny the ModifyMyNotification permission for those specified users. This ensures that those users cannot modify their own notifications while you are making modifications.

◦ Copy another user’s notification conditions. Do one of the following:
▪ Click Add to copy notification conditions. The copied conditions are appended to any existing rules.
▪ Click Replace to copy notification conditions to replace any existing rules.
The Rule Selection dialog box displays.

10. Click OK. The condition displays in the Notification Rule panel.
