The administrator can create users by using the user provisioning rule. When the administrator creates a user, the system displays the default values, the communication addresses, and the communication profiles that are defined in the rule. The administrator must provide minimal user information.

The administrator can:

• provision the user by using the user provisioning rules from the System Manager web console, web services, directory synchronization, and bulk import services.

• assign only one user provisioning rule to a user.

System Manager supports creating, editing, duplicating, and deleting the user provisioning rule. You can use the User Management link on the System Manager web console to associate the user provisioning rule with users while creating and editing users.
