Add a user create action

App tutorial · Step 13 of 25

Build a three-form app that creates an Active Directory user and manages its group memberships.

In this step, we'll add a button to the name_generation form that launches an AD create user action.

1. Drag a Button beneath the name-value list and configure it:

   Property	Value
   Alignment	Right
   Button style	Success
   Button text	Create User
   Margin TRBL	__3_

2. With the button still selected, go to the Actions tab and add an action.

3. In the Form Action dialog box, set the following options: - Action Type: Target System Function Execution - Description: Create AD User for {new_FirstName} {new_LastName} - System: AD - Function: UserCreate

4. Configure these Input mappings:

   Name	Value source	Constant value or variable
   cn	Variable	ng_cn
   path	Constant	Your user OU path
   accountPassword	Constant	Tools4ever.Goes.4.The.Win
   employeeID	None	(blank)
   Enabled	Constant	true
   givenName	Variable	new_FirstName
   sAMAccountName	Variable	ng_sAMAccountName
   sn	Variable	new_LastName
   userPrincipalName	Variable	ng_userPrincipalName

5. Click Save.

6. We'll click Save to save our progress so far.
