User and Group Administration

Configure users and their access after you install the grid. Grids have the following types of users:

Grid Maintainers—Install and reconfigure grids. They typically work on the BFC. Maintainers cannot provision or operate applications.
Grid users—log in to the CA 3Tera AppLogic controller through a web browser and Secure Shell (SSH). They can provision and operate applications on the grid. Grid users can also add and remove other grid users and fully operate the grid.

The administrators have their SSH keys installed on the grid as part of the installation process and are identified only by their SSH key. The same SSH key cannot be used for regular grid users. Use the CA 3Tera AppLogic installer to add and remove users. For information about configuring users, or updating the administrator access keys for the grid, see the CA 3Tera AppLogic BFC User Guide.
