User account administration includes user roles and correlating group assignments, password requirements, and user ID requirements. The tasks users are required to perform on the SMS must have access privileges and permissions defined in the group(s) to which the user account is assigned.
The user inherits the access permissions and user role capabilities defined for an assigned group.
You can delete users whose accounts are enabled or disabled. If you delete a user that has an active session, the user will be deleted but the active session will remain until the user logs off or the session is ended.

Procedure

  1. Go to Admin → Authentication and Authorization → Users.
  2. Click New, or select an existing user account and click Edit.

    To change a user password, you must either be logged in as the user whose password you want to change or be logged in with SuperUser capabilities.
