Users tab

The Users tab displays the defined users, their Status of enabled or disabled, and an indication of whether they are a member of each role.

The default set of users defined for each product may vary.

The admin user name is defined to have access to all actions for all resources. This can not be changed.

Defining a user

  1. To define a new user, click New .

    The New User window is displayed.
  2. Enter the Name, Password and Verify Password parameters, and then select the checkbox for each role the user will have.
  3. Click OK when done.

Users can be defined with no roles, but they will not be able to use the Workbench to access any of the node's resources.

Managing users

For the defined users, use the Edit button to change the user's password and the user's roles. The Delete button will delete the user from the node's definitions.

The Enable and Disable buttons are used to change a user's Status. An enabled user is active and will have the access to resources defined by its roles and the enabled policies. A disabled user will not be able to connect to the node.

Changing your password

For the user currently logged on to a node, there is an alternative way to change your password, as follows:

  1. Instead of using the Administration Security tab and then the Users tab, right click on the node's icon in the left hand pane Nodes list to display the node's pop-up menu.

  2. Select Change password.
    A Change Password window is displayed

  3. Enter the new password in the New Password and Verify Password parameters and select OK.
