6-2 User Account Operations
System administrators can manage all user accounts The local system administrator can perform user account
operations for users in the assigned user group and its descendant user groups. Storage administrators and
local storage administrators can edit their own user properties. Guests and local guests can view their own
user properties.
Device Manager maintains a database of authorized users and an audit log of all user actions. Device Manager
allows all users except guests and local guests to change their own passwords and user properties (first name,
last name, and description). System users are users who are assigned to a system user group (admin,
storageadmin, guest). Local users are users who are assigned to a user-defined user group with the role of
local system administrator, local storage administrator, or local guest.
The Device Manager user account operations include:
•
Creating a user (system administrator or local system administrator only) (see section
6-2-1
)
•
Viewing and editing user properties (see section
6-2-2
)
•
Changing your password (see section
6-2-3
)
•
Deleting a user (system administrator or local system administrator only) (see section
6-2-4
)
The User Administration panel (see
Figure 6-2
) allows the system administrator or local system administrator to
create and delete Device Manager users and edit user properties as needed. To open the User Administration
panel, log in as a system administrator or a local administrator, select the User Management object in the
navigation frame, and select Users in the information frame. (If you are not logged in as a system administrator
or a local administrator, the User Properties panel opens when you click Users.)
The User Administration panel lists each user by user ID and user group. The CREATE button allows you to
create a new Device Manager user. The EDIT button allows you to edit the information for the selected user.
The DELETE button allows you to delete the selected user.

6-2-1 Creating a User
The system administrator can create new Device Manager users as needed. The local administrator can create
new users to the assigned user group and its descendant user groups. The storage administrator, local storage
administrator, guests, and local guests do not have access to this function.
NOTE:
Before creating a new user, make sure that the desired user group has been created (see section
6-
3-1
). After a new user has been created, you cannot change the assigned user group.
