Setting up users

A tenant administrator creates users to provide access to the product console. To understand the concept of users, see User-access-and-keys.

On the User access > Users and keys page, you can filter users by source to find users that were created in BMC Helix Portal or users that were imported from an external identity provider (IdP) or synced from BMC Helix ITSM. To understand the concept of external IdP users and synced users, see User-identities.
