Important:

In environments using PingFederate as the identity provider, adding a user in PingOne does not create the user in the PingFederate user directory. The ability to create a user in PingOne is provided as an option for MFA testing.

Note:

If your environment is set up with custom user attributes, the user fields might not match the ones described here.

  1. Go to Directory > Users.
  2. Click the + icon.
  3. Enter the following information.
    FieldDescription

    Given name

    The user's first name.

    Family name

    The user's last name.

    Username

    A unique identifier for the user.

    Note: In a workforce environment, usernames cannot be changed after they have been set.

    Email

    A valid email address for the user.

    Population

    The population to which the user should belong. If you don't specify a population, the user will be added to the default population. For more information, see Populations.

    Authoritative identity provider

    If you have configured an external identity provider, select it from the list. An authoritative identity provider has authority over user records and credentials. For more information, see Authoritative identity providers.

    Password

    An initial password for the user.

    Click Generate password to have PingOne create a strong password for you.

    Click the eye icon to show the password in clear text.

  4. Click Save.
The user is created in the PingOne directory. You can edit a user profile after it has been created. See Editing a user.
