Changing user properties

Use the Integrated Virtualization Manager to change the properties of user accounts, such as number of login retries and the account expiration date.

Use the padmin user account for this task.
To change the properties of a user account, do the following:
  1. From the IVM Management menu, click View/Modify User Accounts. A list of user accounts is displayed.
  2. Select the user account for which you want to change the properties.
  3. Click Properties. The User Properties window displays.
  4. On the User Settings tab, make the changes you want, and then click OK. The list of user accounts is displayed again.

Changes that you make to the settings on the User Settings tab take effect the next time that the user logs in to the Integrated Virtualization Manager.

The management partition on the managed system uses the same user accounts as on the Integrated Virtualization Manager. This means that changes that you make to user accounts using the Integrated Virtualization Manager also apply to management partition user accounts. For example, if you change the password for a user account in the Integrated Virtualization Manager, then you must use the new password when you use that user account to log in to the management partition.
