Create a new user account to sign in to HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM). The account must be valid on the operating system (includes Active Directory on Windows) on the Central Management Server (CMS) and will be authenticated by the CMS. You must know the operating system user account name of the user you are adding, but you do not need to know the password. To create a new user: Select Options SecurityUsers and AuthorizationsUsers, and click
New. The New User section appears. In the Login name (on central management server) field, enter the operating system login account name to be used to sign in to HP SIM. This field is required.
Note: The user cannot sign in to HP SIM if the account is not a valid login. The account is not validated until the user tries to sign in to HP SIM. (Optional) In the Full name field, enter the user's full name. (Optional) In the Phone field, enter the user's phone number. (Optional) In the E-mail address field, enter the user's e-mail address. In the Copy all authorizations of this user or [template] field, select a template or login that already has the predefined authorizations that you want to assign to the login account you are creating.
In the Central management server configuration rights section, select the level of authority to assign to the new user from the following options:
Full configuration rights. Enables total user control of the database. Users can run discovery of systems and data collection; define users and authorizations; set Cluster Monitor configuration; configure licensing and protocol settings; and create, modify, delete, and run reports, snapshot comparisons, tools, custom tools, events, automation tasks, and so on.
Limited configuration rights. Enables the user to create, edit, and delete reports (including predefined reports).
No configuration rights. Enables the user to view and run predefined reports on systems they have been authorized to view only. A user without configuration rights cannot execute any actions to affect the system database.
Under the Login IP Address Restrictions section, in the Inclusion ranges field, enter the IP addresses of the systems that you want this user to be able to use as a client browsing into this CMS. If you list multiple IP addresses, separate them with a semicolon (;). Each range is a single IP address or two IP addresses separated by a dash (-). The IP addresses must be entered in the standard dotted decimal notation, for example, 15.1.54.133. Any spaces surrounding the semicolons or dashes are ignored. Spaces are not allowed within a single IP address in the dotted decimal notation. Enter 0.0.0.0 to prevent a user from logging in through a remote system.
Important: If browsing from the CMS, ensure all IP addresses of the CMS are properly included. If browsing to localhost, ensure the loopback address 127.0.0.1 is also included. (Optional) In the Exclusion ranges field, enter the IP address of the systems that should be excluded from this user as clients browsing into this CMS. Use the same format in the previous step for Inclusion ranges.
Note: Be sure to verify that your inclusion and exclusion ranges do not overlap.
Click OK to save and close the New User section. The new user account is created. Click Apply to save and keep the New User section open, or click Cancel to cancel the creation of this user.
User groups must exist in the operating system.Members of the user groups in the operating system can sign in to HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) and inherit the group's attributes for configuration rights, login IP address restrictions, and authorizations. When a group's configuration rights, login IP address restrictions, or authorizations are changed, this change is immediately reflected in all current members of the group. To create a new user group: Select OptionsSecurityUsers and AuthorizationsUsers, and click
New Group. The New User Group section appears. In the Group name (on central management server) field, enter the operating system group name to be used for signing in to HP SIM. This field is required. In the Full name field, enter the full name for the group. This name appears in the table on the Users tab. In Copy all authorizations of this user or [template] dropdown list, select a template or login that already has the predefined authorizations that you want to assign to the group you are creating.
In the Central management server configuration rights section, select the level of authority to assign to the new user group from the following options. Users that sign in to HP SIM as members of this group inherit these configuration rights.
Full configuration rights. Enables total user control of the database. Users can run discovery of systems and data collection; define users and authorizations; set Cluster Monitor configuration; configure licensing and protocol settings; and create, modify, delete, and run reports, snapshot comparisons, tools, custom tools, events, automation tasks, and so on.
Limited configuration rights. Enables the user to create, edit, and delete reports (including predefined reports).
No configuration rights. Enables the user to view and run predefined reports on systems they have been authorized to view only. A user without configuration rights cannot execute any actions to affect the system database.
Under the Login IP Address Restrictions section, in the Inclusion ranges field, enter the IP addresses of the systems that you want members of this user group to be able to use as a client browsing into this CMS. If you list multiple IP addresses, separate them with a semicolon (;). Each range is a single IP address or two IP addresses separated by a dash (-). The IP addresses must be entered in the standard dotted decimal notation, for example, 15.1.54.133. Any spaces surrounding the semicolons or dashes are ignored. Spaces are not allowed within a single IP address in dotted decimal notation. Enter 0.0.0.0 to prevent a user from logging in through a remote system.
Important: If browsing from the CMS, ensure all IP addresses of the CMS are properly included. If browsing to localhost, ensure the loopback address 127.0.0.1 is also included. In the Exclusion ranges field, enter the IP address of the systems that should be excluded from members of this user group as clients browsing into this CMS. Use the same format in the previous step for Inclusion ranges.
Note: Be sure to verify that your inclusion and exclusion ranges do not overlap.
Click OK to save and close the New User Group section. Click Apply to save and keep the New User Group section open, or click Cancel to cancel to close the New User Group section without saving the new group.
