Get started with Nintex RPA Central

Once you have reviewed the pre-installation checklist, installed Nintex RPA Central and activated the license key, and addressed the post-installation fixes, follow the steps described in this topic to get started with Nintex RPA Central.

Add a user

  1. On the top navigation bar, click Settings.
  2. Click User management in the side navigation menu.
  3. Click Add user.
  4. Type or select the Active Directory Username in the domain\username format. If you are using Nintex RPA Central 2.7.0 or above, you can type or select a properly-trusted domain on which Nintex RPA Central is not installed. This feature is particularly beneficial if you installed Nintex RPA Central on a parent domain and have users in child domains. For more information about domain trust relationships, go to Review domain requirements.
    Note: 

    • Currently, Active Directory Groups are not supported. Administrators can add Active Directory users as individuals, but not as an Active Directory Group alias.

    • If you are using Nintex RPA Central 2.7.0 or above, you can add and validate unknown domains so that they are known and you can add users from those domains.

    • If you are unable to add an Active Directory individual because the user cannot be validated and you receive an error that states, "The specified directory service attribute or value does not exist," grant the computer the List Content right. Open the properties for the OU where the users live or for the OU where the parent lives, create a group with the privilege, add the Nintex RPA Central computer account to the group, and then grant the computer the List Content right.

  5. Select the user's Role. For more information, go to Roles.

  6. Click Add.
  7. Click Copy URL to send the Nintex RPA Central URL for downloading the Nintex Bot to the user. For more information, go to Add a Nintex Bot.
  8. Click OK.

    The new user appears in the user list.
