Considerations

  • Alternative methods of adding users: If you need to add multiple users simultaneously, consider using a Bulk Upload or Invitations. Organizations that have an Active Directory should consider managing members using the ILST.
  • Notifications: Adding users with this method does not notify them of their membership to your digital workplace. 
  • Passwords: When adding a user this way, you must assign them a password. 
    • Users with email accounts can then use this password to authenticate to your digital workplace using Igloo authentication. After adding this type of user, it is best to trigger a password reset or ask them to follow the forgotten password reset steps to change their password to something they only know. 
    • When users with member IDs log in for the first time, they will be prompted to enter a new password and security questions.
  • Prior members: If the user you are adding was previously a member of your digital workplace, the password you enter will not override their existing password. However, you still must enter a value in the Password field. 
  • Member account guidelines: For information about the responsibilities associated with managing accounts, see Member account guidelines.

Who can do this?

    • Enterprise Administrators
    • Workplace Administrators
    • Members of groups with the Add Members role

Password requirements

When creating an Igloo authentication password, it must conform to these rules:

  • Contain between 10 and 50 characters
  • Contain at least one uppercase character
  • Contain at least one lowercase character
  • Contain at least one digit
  • Contain at least one special character (~!@#$%^&*_-+=`|\(){}[]:;"'<>,.?/)
  • Does not match any of the last 5 passwords used for Igloo.
  • Does not contain the account's username
  • Does not contain Unicode characters
