Organization Administrators can follow these steps to create a TAXII user account and configure it to use the TAXII 2.1 server:

1. Log into ThreatConnect with an Organization Administrator account.
2. On the top navigation bar, hover the cursor over Settings and select Org Settings. The Organization Settings screen will be displayed (Figure 1).

   

    

3. Click the Create TAXII™ User button. The TAXII User Administration window will be displayed (Figure 2).

   

    

4. Select the TAXII 2.1 Service created by your System Administrator from the TAXII Service dropdown menu. The TAXII User Administration window will now display the options shown in Figure 3.

   

    

   • TAXII Service: Keep the selection of the TAXII 2.1 Service created by your System Administrator.
   • Username: Enter a name for the TAXII user.
   • Password: Enter a password for the TAXII user.
   • Pseudonym: A pseudonym is created automatically and cannot be edited. Owners of Communities and Sources to which the user belongs will see this name when viewing their members.
   • Organization Role: An Organization role of Standard User is selected automatically and cannot be changed.
   • Locked: Select this checkbox to lock the TAXII user’s account.
   • Disabled: Select this checkbox to disable the TAXII user’s account.
