OnBase users can be automatically created by the system to allow seamless access to documents stored in OnBase. This means that users trying to access OnBase documents via a third-party application are granted access to the document without having to provide OnBase log in credentials.

This functionality is only available to systems that include Integration for Single Sign-On in the overall solution. The user's credentials are validated with the third-party application using single sign-on. If the user is authenticated by the third-party application and does not already exist in OnBase, an account is automatically created for that user. System-generated users are placed in a default user group, as configured in OnBase, and the requested document is displayed based on the permissions given to that user group.

Note:

If the system is not licensed for Integration for Single Sign-On, or no default user group is configured, new users are not generated by the system. See Licensing.

To configure a default User Group in OnBase:

  1. Launch the OnBase Configuration module.
  2. Select System Generated User Settings from the Utils menu. The SSO Default User Group dialog is displayed.
  3. Select a user group from the Default User Group drop-down list, or select << None >> to disable the creation of system-generated users.
    CAUTION:

    System-generated users inherit all rights and permissions given to the default user group selected. Since users are generated automatically, it is recommended that you create a default user group that is granted only the most basic rights, not allowing system-generated users to perform any kind of processing, editing, or configuration tasks.

  4. Click Save, or click Cancel to close the dialog without saving.
    Tip:

    See the Configuration help files or System Administration module reference guide for details on creating User Groups in OnBase.
