   The Managed File Transfer - Connection Profile Management dialog box appears.

2. Click the icon.

   The Add Connection Profile dialog box appears.

3. In the Connection Profile Name field, type the name of the connection profile that you want to add (The connection profile name must begin with a letter and without any blanks or special characters).
4. In the Connection Profile Type area, select File transfer group.
5. In the Control-M Users table, do one of the following:
   1. To select users from the list, select the users that you want to allow access to this connection profile, click Add, and then click Next.
   2. To add users or groups manually, , click Add Manually.

      The Authorized User or Group dialog box appears.

      1. In the Add EM user or group field, type the name of the user or group you want to add.

         Multiple users and groups must be separated by a | character.

      2. In the Type area, select User or Group
      3. Click OK.
