PSIsafe Supports Two Kinds of Users:

1. PSIsafe Users

PSIsafe users are based entirely within your PSIsafe installation and are stored within your associated SQL Database. These user profiles are not affected by Windows Users profiles.

2. Windows Users

These users are selected from the Active Directory Server user list. The Windows Users tab on the main Users screen is used to add users from Active Directory. Usernames in PSIsafe User profiles must match exactly between the Windows Username and the PSIsafe username to function correctly, including automatic login based on Windows profile, as well as password syncing.


Adding and Editing Users

Select Add or Edit from the Users screen in PSIsafe Management to initiate the Adding/Editing steps:
