28. User Access tips
• When you are setting up new users or rearranging
your user access, it is best to first establish your
Global Security Profiles.
• Add one new user to each of your Global Security
Profiles. Once your user is set up to your
specifications, you can then use the copy/paste
function to add the additional users to each group.

29. User Access Tips (cont.)
• In 8.2, the following information is now copied when
copying existing users which makes it easier for
administrators to manage users: Toolbars for
Activities, EPS, and Assignments views, Global user
preferences, and Assigned user interface views
• Also new in 8.2, you can now use the new Create
Resource from Selected User action on the Users
page to create and assign a resource to an existing
user in one step. This can significantly reduce the
time and effort required to set up resources.

63. Prototype User
• Great if you are going to be adding a large number of
users that you want to have a consistent interface
when they initially log in.
• You can associate default global Dashboards and
global preferences that apply to all new P6 users.
• Define a prototype user configuration, in combination
with defining user interface views.
• The prototype user configuration that you created is
automatically copied to each new P6 user you add.

63

64. Prototype User (cont.)
• If you do not create a prototype user
configuration, the default "User Interface View for
new users" will be used to determine which
dashboards will be displayed when a user logs in
for the first time.
• If no "User Interface View for new users" is set,
the user will be prompted to select dashboard
settings during the initial login.

65. Creating the Prototype User
To create a prototype user:
1.Create a user named "Default“. This User will
represent the default Prototype user, storing the
Portlets display and global preference settings you
specify.
2.Log in to P6 as the new prototype user named
"Default“.
3.Customize the Personal Workspace to specify the
default portlets you want to display for new users. In
addition to choosing the portlets to display, also
specify related portlet options, as necessary.
