Creating user accounts

This topic describes how to create Integrated Virtualization Manager user accounts and set basic properties, such as user ID, password, and role.

Use the padmin user account for this task.

To create a user account, do the following:

From the IVM Management menu, click View/Modify User Accounts. The Create User Accounts panel is displayed.
Click *Create User. The Create User Account window displays.
Enter the user ID and password, and then confirm the password.
Select the appropriate role for the user account, and then click OK. The user account is created.

You can create additional user accounts, if necessary.

Only the basic user properties are set up when you create a user account. You can specify additional user properties, such as password restrictions and account expiration date, by changing user properties.

When you create a user account from this panel, the default user role is Administrator. Users with the Administrator user role have authority to perform all tasks except for user maintenance tasks and tasks involving the global command log and the failed login log.

You also cannot create user accounts with the same authority as the padmin user account. The padmin user account can use the Integrated Virtualization Manager to perform all tasks.
