Figure 8‑3 Working with System Administrator users
Working with System Administrator users includes creating, deleting, and editing a System Administrator user. The following sections describe how to perform these tasks.
Creating a system administrator
A system administrator can create other System Administrator users.
How to create a system administrator
1 On Settings—System Admin Users, choose Add System Administrator to create a new System Administrator user, as shown in Figure 8‑3.
2 Specify the following properties on Add System Administrator, as shown in Figure 8‑4. A property name appearing with an asterisk (*) next to the name is a required property.
*Username
Type the name of the new system administrator.
*Email
Type the new administrator e-mail address.
*Description
Type a description for the new administrator.
*Language
Choose the language System Console uses.
*Is Locked Out
Type true or false.
*Password
In Password, type a password for the new user. The password must be at least eight characters long, and must contain at least one lower case letter, one upper case letter, and one digit. If you create a user using IDAPI, there is no restriction on what the password can be.
*Confirm Password
Type the password again.
Choose OK. Confirm that you want to save changes.

If you have e-mail notification enabled, BIRT iHub sends a notification e-mail to the new system administrator, as shown in Figure 8‑6. For information on enabling e-mail notification, see Enabling e-mail notification.

Customizing the notification e-mail template file
System Console uses a .properties file with a .template file to create a notification e-mail for each of the following events:
*New system administrator created
*New cluster created
*New trial cluster created
*New volume created
The .properties file contains the text for each e-mail type. The .template file contains the HTML for each e-mail type. The .template file formats the notification e-mail, and populates it with appropriate text from the .properties file.
You can edit the .properties and .template files to customize them for your entity.
How to customize the notification e-mail files
1 In a default BIRT iHub installation on Windows, in which the install folder is C:\Actuate3, navigate to the following file:
C:\Actuate3\SystemConsole\modules\SystemConsole\tomcat\webapps\sysconsole\WEB-INF\lib\resource.jar
Using a file utility such as WinZip, open \resource.jar.
2 Locate the following files:
*com\actuate\umc\data\resource\Email.properties
*com\actuate\umc\data\resource\Email.template
Open these files and make any necessary modifications.
Save and exit the files.
Editing a system administrator
When editing a system administrator, the properties are the same as when creating a system administrator, and the administrator can change any property.
How to edit a system administrator
1 Left-click the arrowhead icon next to the System Administrator user in the list of users and choose Edit to edit a System Administrator, as shown in Figure 8‑7.
