Information noteDeprecation: Talend Master Data Management (MDM) is deprecated and will reach end of life on December 31, 2024. For more information on migrating from Talend MDM, contact Talend Professional Services.

In Talend Administration Center, you can create MDM users and define their permissions for accessing Talend MDM.

All MDM Studio and web users are managed by Talend Administration Center.

  1. On the Users page, click Add to create a new user account.
    The Data panel opens to the right, where you need to define the user's information.
  2. Enter the login, first name, last name and password for this user account.
