Adding new users to the product library
Using the administrator's database connection, user accounts are created for anyone who is going to have access to the product library. To create a new user, the person must first be added as a product library user, then permissions can be assigned.
Initially, the user must be added to the geodatabase by the administrator. Each user is added using the first name, last name, and Windows user name.
