Create external users when connecting a directory service (Active Directory)

Modified on Thu, 2 Apr at 4:19 PM

With the right steps, you can add and manage external users in Q.wiki even when Active Directory is connected.

Important: You need Key User rights to perform the following steps.

Important: Check with your IT department whether security policies allow external users to be set up. For Enterprise systems, either a VPN connection must be configured for external users or the system must be accessible from outside the company network.

Add an external user

Set up the new external user as described in the second section of this guide: Add a new user.

Restrict write permissions (optional)

If you want to limit the write permissions of the external user, follow this guide: Restrict a user's write permissions.

Tip

Tip: Initially register the external user with an email address you have access to. This must not match any email address already stored in the Q.wiki system. After that, log in as the new user and verify that access works as configured.
