Adding a User Account

Adding or Modifying an Administrator Account

To add or modify an account, the role assigned to your user account must grant you permission to Manage Administrators and Roles.

Enterprise Manager provides several predefined administrator accounts, each with a role assigned and with the ConfigTemplate assigned to it.

You can use these accounts as-is, modify them, or create new accounts.

To create a new Account:

Right-click the Security item and choose Open to Manage.

Right-click the Accounts item and choose Add New Account.

The default name is NewAdministrator. On the Administrator tab, provide a new name and optional description.

On the Set Password tab, type a password for the account, then type it again to confirm. The password appears as a series of asterisks (*).

The new account appears under the Accounts item.

Expand the Roles item. Assign a role to the account you created by dragging the desired role to the account name.

You can use an existing role or create a new one. How to...

To give the account access to configurations, drag the configuration-name from its location under the Configurations item, to the Account name.

Note: To grant the user access to all existing and subsequently created configurations, set the Advanced setting (Implicit access to) All Configurations to Yes. More info...
