Users Tab
The Users tab lists all the user accounts on the appliance. You can access the Users tab from .
If users are listed but not selectable, they are Active Directory (AD) users who have logged on to the appliance before. AD users have access only if AD servers are configured as remote authentication servers for the appliance and roles are defined on the appliance.
AD users are controlled on the AD server. From the appliance GUI you cannot add, modify, or remove users from the AD server itself. Once an AD user logs in to the appliance, that AD user automatically appears in the Users tab.
- To add a new user to the appliance, click Add New button. The General tab of the Edit User page opens.
- To modify an existing user on the appliance, click the required User ID.
- To remove a user from this list, select the user’s check box and then click the delete icon
.
Note: Removing a user with remote authentication from the Users tab removes the user entry only from the appliance users list, and not from the AD server itself.However, when a user with remote authentication is removed from all associated roles and groups, or is disabled or deleted on the AD server, it is removed from the appliance users list on the Users tab, if both the following conditions are true:
- The user name and password of a user who has access to the AD server are configured in the Active Directory section.
- The daily AD user cleanup task is scheduled to run.
After the user is deleted, an entry is logged in the sys.log file.
