User Types

You can add individual users and Active Directory user groups to erwin Mart Portal. 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.

Following are the user types:

Server User

Server users are authenticated by erwin Mart Portal and use username and password to log in to the application. Server users are application-level users and not a database users. For example, Peter is a Business Analyst and reviews data models. Add Peter as a Server user as he uses mart only to review data models. Peter can then use his username and password to connect to Mart.

Windows User

• Server Authenticated: Server authenticated Windows users are authenticated by the local Windows network. You can add such users using the domain-name/username format.

• Active Directory Authenticated: Active Directory authenticated users are authenticated by Active Directory(AD) or Azure Active Directory (AAD) depending on your configuration in erwin Mart Portal configuration. If you have configure one of these, while adding users, you can search and select users associated with the necessary Windows users. Such users can then log in to the application using their Azure AD log in names. For example, AZUREAD\abd@MyOrg.com or AZUREAD\abc or abc@MyOrg.com.

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 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.
