Mart Users

Starting release 9, you can add individual users and Active Directory user groups to Mart. Individual users are categorized as Server users and Windows users, which are based on the way they are authenticated. There are no database level users in the current Mart.

Following are the user types:

Server User

Indicates a user that is authenticated by the Mart Portal. The server user is an application level user and not a database user. A server user provides the user name and password to log on to Mart. For example, Peter is a Business Analyst and reviews data models. Add Peter as a Server user as he accesses Mart only at the time of reviewing data models. Peter provides his user name and password to connect to Mart.

Only a Server user can access erwin Mart Portal. There are no database level users in the current Mart.

Windows User

Indicates a user that is authenticated by the Windows network.

If you have configured Azure Active Directory (AD) in erwin Mart Portal configuration, while adding users, you can search and select users associated with the necessary Windows users. Such users can then log in to erwin Mart Portal using their Azure AD log on names. For example, AZUREAD\abd@MyOrg.com or AZUREAD\abc or abc@MyOrg.com.

To log into erwin Mart Portal using the domain/username, windows users have to be a part of an active directory group that has already been configured in your erwin Mart Portal configuration.

Group User

Indicates a user group that is part of an Active Directory. Use this option to add an entire group that accesses Mart. For example, you have a user group ABC-Domain\XYZDivision_AllModelers@MyOrg.com. Add XYZDivision_AllModelers, so that all users that are part of this group and are authenticated by ABC-Domain, connect to Mart. Users of this group do not have to provide their user name and password when they connect to Mart.

For erwin Mart on cloud, to add group users, upload a list of users (for example, LDAP users) in the CSV format.

Azure AD User

Indicates a user that is authenticated by the Azure Active Directory.

Azure AD Group User

Indicates a user group that is authenticated by the Azure Active Directory.
Use this option to add an entire group that accesses Mart. Users of this group do not have to provide their user name and password when they connect to Mart.

Also, if you enter an incorrect password five consecutive times, your account will be locked for five minutes (300 seconds) by default.
You can change the time for which the account stays locked. For more information, refer to the Default Account Lockout Duration section.
