4 Setting up and managing user accounts
When Remote Web Console is set up on the SVP and you have set up client machines, you can
create users and define their roles. This chapter provides information for setting up user accounts.
Workflow for user management
The administrator creates user accounts for all users. You use Remote Web Console to create the
account. The basic workflow for creating users follows:
•
Connect client machines to an authentication server, if used. An authentication server allows
users to log in to Remote Web Console with the same password as the one used for other
applications in a system. If an authentication server is not used, a user enters a dedicated
password for Remote Web Console.
Review “Using authentication server and authorization server” (page 30) for information and
instructions.
•
Review “User groups” (page 32) to understand the user groups, resource groups, and roles
you assign new (or existing) users. User groups consist of specific permissions for performing
Remote Web Console actions.
•
Create a user group. Refer to “Creating a new user group” (page 37) . There is also a user
group called “built-in group” that is previously provided.
•
Create new users and assign permissions. See “Creating a user account” (page 37) .
•
Inform users about their accounts.
•
Change, disable, or delete user passwords and permissions.
Using authentication server and authorization server
When an authentication server is used, a user can log in to Remote Web Console with the same
password as the one used for other applications in a system. The authentication server requirement
must be configured for each user.
The following shows workflow of authentication for users in the case of using or not using the
authentication server.

Figure 14 A workflow when the authentication server is used
If an authorization server works together with an authentication server, the user groups registered
in the authorization server can be assigned to a user for Remote Web Console.
