Creating mobile users

The user ID and password of a mobile user is used when connecting a mobile device to the Sync Server. The user ID and password of a mobile user is not a login user ID on the workstation that is running Sync Server. Mobile users can connect to the Sync Server individually or they can be assigned to groups that are associated with applications. In the following steps, the user is not assigned to a group

To create a mobile user:

  1. Right-click the Users folder. Select Create.
  2. Type a name for the user in the Name field. This example uses testuser.
  3. Type a description for the table subscription in the Description field. This example uses Test user
  4. Leave the Group field empty.
  5. Click the Authentication tab.
  6. Enter a password in the Password and Verify password fields. This example uses test as the password.
  7. Click OK to close the Create User notebook.

The user is not enabled for synchronization until after it is assigned to a group and has connected with the server for the first time.
