Create provisioned user for group membership

When you create a provisioned user in a new provisioned group, it is different from creating provisioned users to apply to policies. For example, when you create a new provisioned group, you decide to also create a new provisioned user called "Thycotic Admin"; this is the Local Administrator account for IT to use. Thycotic models the local account as a provisioned user. In the case of group membership, the provisioned user acts as a placeholder within the group. In other words, this provisioned user is defined within the context of the group.

Keep in mind that for provisioned users to work you must include them in a policy or task. (For instructions about including provisioned users in a policy or task, go to Apply Provisioned Group.)

To create a provisioned user for group membership, do the following steps:

1. In the Thycotic Security Manager, go to the Policies tab.
2. In the file library in the left pane, navigate to Thycotic Solutions > Local Security > Resources > Provisioned Users.
   
3. Right-click Provisioned Groups and click New > Provisioned User Groups, or in the right pane click the New button.
   
4. In the New Provisioned User dialog box under Settings > Account, select Named and enter the user name.
5. In the Full name field, enter the user's full name.
6. Select the Password never expires check box.
7. Click Save.
