Adding or Modifying Users on a Managed Appliance

Adding or modifying users on managed appliances involves the same tabs as on a single appliance, plus the Appliances tab.

The Appliances tab automatically creates or updates the user settings and privileges from the current appliance on the managed appliances selected in this tab.

You can also add a user to a managed appliance by:

  • Adding a user through direct access to the appliance
  • Replicating the user information to other managed appliances from the Administration > User Replication tab (see Replicating Users on a Managed Appliance)

The Appliances tab displays only on Management Stations. If you access another appliance through the Management Station, you cannot see the Appliances tab.

Note: When removing a user from the management station, LogLogic LMI automatically removes the user from all managed appliances to which the user had been granted access, without the need for an administrator to initiate a user replication action.

Procedure

  1. In the Management > Users > Users tab, click Add New.

    To update an existing user, click a user ID in the User ID column on the Management > Users > Users tab.

  2. Fill out the General, Privileges, and Devices tabs as described in Adding or Modifying a User.
  3. Select the Appliances tab.
  4. Highlight an appliance IP address from the Available Appliances section and click the single arrow button to move it to the Selected Appliances section.

    To move all available appliances to the Selected Appliances section, click the double arrow button.

  5. Click Add to add the new user to the selected appliance(s).

    When appliances are selected for a user, any change to that user on the Management Station is automatically replicated to the selected appliances.
