Adding users to the Central Management Server

In HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM), user administration involves adding, editing, and removing users. You can configure users in the First Time Wizard, or by selecting OptionsSecurityUsers and Authorizations. Additional configuration options such as user groups and reports are available in the graphical user interface (GUI).




	NOTE: See HP SIM User Guide at http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/hpsim/infolibrary.html for more information.

Creating users

Click New. The New User section appears.
In the Login name [on central management server (CMS)] box, enter the operating system login account name to be used to sign in to HP SIM. This information 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.
In the Domain (Windows domain for login name) box, enter the Windows domain name for the login name if the CMS is running a Windows operating system. If left blank, the system name of the CMS is used as the domain.
(Optional) Enter the user's full name, phone number, and e-mail address in the appropriate boxes.
In the Copy all authorizations of this user or [template] box, select a template or user that has the authorizations you want to assign to the login account you are creating. The following predefined templates are available:
- Administrator. This template automatically gives the user full configuration rights on the CMS and includes the All Tools toolbox for the CMS and for All Managed Systems.
- Operator. This template gives the user limited configuration rights on the CMS and includes authorizations for the Monitor Tools toolbox on the CMS and the All Tools toolbox on All Managed Systems.
- User. This template gives the user no configuration rights on the CMS and includes authorizations for the Monitor Tools toolbox for the CMS and All Managed Systems.
If you do not want to select an existing user or template, select None.
In the Central management server configuration rights section, select the level of authority to assign to the new user from the following options. This is a required setting. If you selected an existing user or template in the previous step, this information is already entered for you.
- full, allowed to modify all Central Management Server settings. Allows the user total 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 commands, events, automation tasks, and so on.
- limited, allowed to create/modify/delete all reports and their own tools. Allows the user to create new reports, edit any reports, and delete any reports (including the predefined reports).
- none, no configuration of Central Management Server allowed. Allows the user to view and run predefined reports on the CMS and all managed systems. However, the user has no configuration rights on the CMS or on the managed systems.
Click OK to save and close the New User section, or click Apply to save this user and enter more users.
