Manage User Accounts

Before you register UC Monitor as a data source for CA Performance Center, use the management console to create, change, and delete user accounts. Verify that user accounts are not shared. Results are unpredictable when more than one user is logged in with the same user account. Page and view settings can interfere with each other when accessed simultaneously on different computers.

Important: After you register UC Monitor with CA Performance Center, use CA Performance Center to manage users, product permissions, and roles.
