Managing Users

Depending upon how ICI is configured in your organization, there are two ways to create a new user in ICI. 

1. Using the Create User tile on the UI

2. Adding the users in the Active Directory through technical configuration

The user administrators can set the preferences as default for users according to their locations or offices they work in, while creating or editing a user. This reduces the end user’s efforts of setting up the ICI account with required parameters after first log-in and presents the system with appropriate and specific pre-settings.   
Administrator can: 

  • Set and manage preferences for single user through single user update and for multiple users through bulk process.
  • View preference settings modifications details in the history tab for audit. 
  • Search users based on parameters related to preference settings.

With the pre-set preferences by Administrators, standard ICI users can: 

  • Access the ICI system with appropriate details as default after first login. 
  • Override the default preference settings as per individual preferences
     

Create a New User

1. Click the Users tile on the User Administration page. The Users page opens. This page displays the list of users and their details such as Name, Email ID, Organization Unit. You can also see the User’s Culture Code (Preferred language). ICI identifies user language from the value they have selected for language in Preferences. On this page, you can view the User Details or replace a user.

Users Page

2. Click the Create User tile on the Users page. The Create User page opens.

The page consists of  the following tabs:

  •  Details
  •  Preferences
  •  Team

Enter the information in each tab as follows and click Next to go to the next tab.

The Details tab is divided into two areas:

  •  Personal Details
  •  Work Details

Last Name Type the last name of the user.
Email Address Type the e-mail address of the user.

The user receives email notifications in the event of access expiry as follows:

  • One day before the access expiry date.
  • After the user access expires.
  • If admin changes the access expiry date.
Event Subject Line
One day before the access expiry date ICI Notification: Access of User [FullName] is expiring on [AccessExpiryDate].
After the user access expires ICI Notification: Access of User [FullName] is expired on [AccessExpiryDate].
If admin changes the access expiry date ICI Notification: Access expiry date of user [FullName] is modified as [AccessExpiryDate].

Work Details

Configure the attributes to display in the Work Details area as per the requirement of your organization. You can create these attributes in the Contract Type - Masterdata which is pre-configured according to the requirements of your organization.

Replacing a User

ICI has a provision to replace User A with User B for a specific role. This may be necessary in several scenarios, such as User A was incorrectly assigned initially, an account may be delinquent for an extended period of time, or the owner is busy.

All tasks and actions that would otherwise have gone to User A (per his/her role), will now go to User B instead. Though User A is replaced by User B, they both will receive the notifications for the replacement happening.

For example, John has the roles of primary owner and approver. If he is replaced by Mary for the primary owner role, all tasks/actions for that role will be sent to Mary going forward. John will not receive any notifications at all. However, he will continue to have all the privileges of an approver and get all notifications for that role. The replacement of the user can be reversed anytime when required.

The replace user functionality is available in Agreements and Amendments, Requests and Associated Documents only. However, the replacement can happen in any state, as long as the Replace User  icon is available. The replacement can be done by any user with the following roles having the replace user privilege:

  • Primary owner
  • Contract admin
  • Secondary owner
  • Contributor
  • Observer
  • Business owner

These roles cannot replace user:

  • Approver
  • Deviation Approver
  • Internal Signatory
  • External Signatory
  • Reviewer
  • External Reviewer
  • Contract Requester
  • External User

1. Click the Replace User button next to the record for the user that you want to deprovision. For example, Alon Carlton. You can search a user on the Replace User window.

RTENOTITLE

2. Select an Action(s). For example, Agreement Team, Template Team, and so on.

3. Select the user that you want to replace. For example, Alan Carlton.

4. Click the Replace User button. A popup Information Message is displayed indicating that the User replace request is submitted and check back after you receive a notification email.

RTENOTITLE

5. Click OK. 

6. When you receive the notification email, the user will be replaced.

RTENOTITLE

Deprovisioning a User

To verify that the Secondary Owner has got the privileges to update the user details:

1. Select the Entity on the ribbon.

2. Select the Action for which you want to populate the Excel Workbook.

3. Click Populate Workbook on the Excel Add-in. This opens a popup indicating that it will populate the Workbook for the selected action.

Note: The Secondary Owner displays the users that are Administrators and user groups that have at least 1 user as an Administrator. You can also add multiple users by using the multi-choice option.

 

RTENOTITLE

5. Click Validate to validate the user information. The Validation Successful message is displayed.

6. Click OK. The Progress Status popup is displayed showing the progress of the user creation process.

7. The User Created Successfully message is displayed on creation of the user.

8. Click OK.

9. Go to the Users page on ICI. The user provisioned using Excel Add-in is displayed in the grid with a status Created.

10. Click the View Record button for the user. The User Detail page opens.

11. Go to the Team tab. The user provisioned using Excel Add-in is displayed as a Secondary Owner.

Adding a Secondary Owner using Legacy Upload 

1. Click the User Administration tile on the Dashboard.

2. Click the Admin Task tile. The Admin Task page opens.

3. Select theLegacy Upload task from the list. The Legacy Upload page opens.

4. To provision a user using the legacy upload option, the following files are required:

  • A Mapping file : The users that are going to be provisioned using the data file are entered in the mapping file. It contains information such as the Contract Type Name, User Information such asEmail ID (Primary Key), and so on. It also contains the path from where the data file will pick up information.
  • A Data file – Includes user information such as Name, Last name, Email ID (of the user that will be provisioned using Legacy Upload, and so on.

Let's consider an example, 

1. Create a batch with automationuser5 as the user, and Admin as a user group.

2. Create a batch file and upload the mapping file fist.

3. Upload the data file. The batch file is scheduled. It will be Executed when the batch is run from ICI.

4. Go to Legacy Upload and see how to upload the document. 

User entity supporting the Secondary Owner role

The Secondary Owner has now been extended to User Entity for a user or user groups. This makes it easier for the Administrator to make the required changes for a user or user groups, instead of having to login multiple times to do so. You need to configure actions for User Information entity and Secondary Owner via Role Action Mapping on the user interface.

The Secondary Owner can be added to the User Entity:

  • Through a configuration key
  • From the ICI user interface
  • Using Excel Add- in
  • Using Legacy Upload
