Creating an account

Learn how to use the Admin Console to create and manage customer identities.

Follow these steps to create a new account with Strivacity

1) Log into the Admin Console, select Account Management from the main menu on the left-hand side of the console. If any accounts already exist, they will be displayed here.

2) If you have multiple Identity Stores already set up, you will need to select the correct Identity Store where you want to create the account. If you only have a single Identity Store then 'Default' will be displayed (next to the Create Account button), as shown below.

3) You can now create an account by clicking the 'Create Account' button. You will be taken to the Create Account screen as shown below:

4) You will need to populate the following mandatory attributes, Username, First name, Last name, Email and Password. See the below table for an explanation on the requirements for these attributes.

5) Once you've typed in your attribute values, click 'Save'.

6) Upon successful account creation, you will be taken back to the Identities and Groups screen and shown a listing of all accounts within that Identity Store.

When manually creating an account within the Admin Console, the customer will not be required to activate the account and they will not receive any email notifications that an account has been created.

7) This completes the process of creating an account.
