EMS User

The EMS User object is a child of the EMS Users object.

Each EMS User object defines a user that is able to access information on the EMS Server using an EMS Client. There are different levels of access that a subscriber can be configured with. The level of access is determined by the User Type of the user. Note that you are only able to configure new users with a User Type that has a level of access less than your own User Type. A request to configure a new user with a User Type that has a level of access equal to or greater than the level of access of your own User Type will be rejected.

To configure and enable a new EMS User, you need to do the following:
