General
For each user that should work with a Plex-XML application you will need to enter the data of the user in the security system.
- In order to maintain your user you can find the user overview display in the following menu branch
- Security
- User & Groups

- User & Groups
- To add an user click on the
new record button
- If your application authenticates that new user with a LDAP directory an easy to go alternative to create such a LDAP user is to press the LDAP button and select the user from the LDAP directory. This will create a new user in Plex-XML which can be changed thereafter.
