Add Users

To give users access to serviced systems and grant them Console Manager privileges, use the add user command. This displays a series of questions about which privileges should be granted, along with a list of systems and/or groups of systems the user is going to be allowed access to.

You can press Enter to accept the default. However, this results in a user having no privileges or access.

The username given must match the user's account name.

1. Start the configuration editor as described in the section, Starting the Configuration Editor:
2. Enter:

   CM Edit> add user
   

3. Enter the name of the user to whom you are granting privileges:

   User Name: smithj
   

4. Enter a description of this user:

   Information: John Smith, System Management
   

5. Enter the privileges the user will have:

   Can user perform startup from the C3 interface? [Y/N] (N):
   Can user perform reconfigure? [Y/N] (N):
   Can user perform shutdown? [Y/N] (Y):
   Can user edit database? [Y/N] (N):
   Can user unlock consoles? [Y/N] (N):
   Can user halt the system? [Y/N] (N):
   Can user perform archive? [Y/N] (Y):
   Can user exit C3? [Y/N] (N):
   Can user edit C3? [Y/N] (N):
   

6. You are asked if the user has access to all systems:

   Can user access all systems? [Y/N] (N):
   

   Note: If you grant access to a subset of the serviced systems defined in the configuration database, then a group definition is also required. However, granting a user access to all groups overrides the subset of systems, and provides the user with full access.

7. You are asked if the user has access to all groups:

   Can user access all groups? [Y/N] (N):
   

8. You are asked if it is all right to add the user:

   OK to add? [Y/N (Y)):
   

The following is an example of what you see on your screen:
