Adding or Modifying a User

To add or modify a user, use the Management > Users > Users tab.

  • To add a new user, click the Add New User icon. When adding a new user, the tabs must be accessed and completed in sequence.
  • To modify an existing user, click the user name in the User ID column. When modifying a user, you can access any tab because they are already populated from when the user was added.
When filling out the tabs, you can switch between the tabs without clicking Add or Update. Your entries are retained until you click Add, Update, or Cancel on one of the tabs. For example, when adding a user:
  • Complete the General tab.
  • Complete the Privileges tab.
  • Complete the Devices tab.
Click Add on any of these tabs.

The Users tab appears, displaying the new user in the list.

Procedure

  1. Start by clicking the General tab and completing or editing the fields.
  2. Click the Privileges tab.
    You can select or edit user privileges for the new or existing user. You can assign any or all privileges visible on the tab to a user, including that of top level Administrator.
  3. Click the Devices tab and select the desired devices and device types to be monitored by the user. By default, Device Type is set to “All” on the Devices tab.
  4. Click the down arrow and scroll through the list of Available Devices to select the desired device and device type for monitoring. Alternately, hold down the Shift key or the Control key to select multiple devices and types from inside the Available Devices pane.
  5. Move the highlighted devices and types to the Selected Devices pane by clicking the single right-pointing arrow (>). All highlighted devices and types will move to the right as a group. Clicking the double arrows (> >) causes all available devices and types to move to the Selected Devices pane.
