Nuance Management Center

Chapter 6: Preparing for your Active Directory single sign-on configuration
Creating an NMC console Administrator user for Active Directory
To configure Active Directory single sign-on and manage settings, you must create an Administrator user in the NMC
console. You cannot use the initial NMC console login that Nuance provides (cloud NMC server), or the login that you
create during the NMC console installation (on-premise NMC server). The Active Directory administrator login must
match a login that exists in Active Directory.
1. Log in to the NMC console.
2. From the Menu bar, select User Accounts.
3. In the User Accounts ribbon, click the Add icon.
The User Account Details window opens.
4. Configure the settings in the tabs:
l Details—The highlighted text boxes indicate required data (First Name, Last Name and Login).
l Address—Enter the user’s physical address.
l Group Memberships—Add the Active Directory administrator to a Group.
l Messaging: Configure email settings to enable the NMC console to send messages to users and
administrators.
l Dragon Professional—Configure user settings in the Dragon client.
For now, you can skip this step. The default settings are applied. For more information, refer to “Configuring
user settings” in the Nuance Management Center Administrator Guide.
l User Profile—Ignore these settings. They are provided by the Dragon client.
5. Click Save.
A dialog box appears, displaying the available licenses. If no administrator licenses are available, contact your
Nuance representative.
Note: After you have completed the steps above, log out of the NMC console, then log in using the NMC
console administrator user account you created for the Active Directory administrator. You can now
revoke the NMC console administrator license of the original admin user and grant that license to another
user account.
