Managing Smart Reporting user accounts


Through the Admin Console, administrators edit and delete users within the application. The users are added to BMC Helix ITSM: Smart Reporting(Smart Reporting) through the user sync utility. For more information, see Automatically-synchronizing-AR-System-users-to-Smart-Reporting

To enable the Add button for adding users manually, see How to enable the add user button.

Note

If a user is present in Smart Reporting but not in AR System, then it may cause certain discrepancies. We recommend adding users in Smart Reporting by using the user sync utility.

  1. Log in to Smart Reporting as an administrator. 
  2. Open the left side panel, and select Administration > Admin Console.
  3. Expand the Users panel.

    You can browse all users in Smart Reporting.

To search for users
