Editing a user account

You can change the properties of a user account.

Procedure

  1. Ensure that you are a system administrator and have the privileges to manage datastores and user accounts.
  2. Click Access Manager > User Management.
  3. Select an existing user.
  4. Click File > Access Server > Properties.
  5. If you want to change the full name or description of the user, type this information in the Full Name and Description boxes.
  6. If you want the user to specify a new password, enter and confirm it in the Password and Confirm Password boxes.

    As the system administrator, if you have enabled complex passwords, then you must specify a password that meets the requirements.

  7. If you want to change the role assigned to the user, choose one of the following:
    System Administrator
    Specifies that users assigned to this role can perform all available operations in Management Console. Only users that require full operational access to the Monitoring, Configuration and Access Manager perspectives should be assigned to this role. System Administrators can also modify system parameters to calibrate their replication environment.
    Enable user account and datastore administration
    Enables a user assigned the System Administrator role access to the Access Manager perspective. If you enable this option for a user, then they can create users and datastores, as well as define Access Server password settings. This option is available only to the System Administrator role.
    Administrator
    Specifies that users assigned to this role can access both the Monitoring and Configuration perspectives in Management Console. Administrators can create new subscriptions, can add, import and export projects, but are not able to access the Access Manager perspective, and cannot add or edit users or datastores. Administrators can start and end replication.
    Operator
    Specifies that users assigned to this role can access both the Monitoring and Configuration perspectives in Management Console. Operators can add, import and export projects, but they cannot create new subscriptions. Users assigned to the Operator role can start, stop, and monitor replication activities. They can also view the tables selected for refresh and start a refresh on a subscription. Operators can view notifications sent by subscriptions or datastores. However, users assigned to this role cannot configure replication and select or remove tables from a refresh.
    Monitor
    Specifies that users assigned to this role only have access to the Monitoring perspective in Management Console. Users assigned to the Monitor role can view events and statistics. Monitors can view the replication state and status of a subscription and can view latency threshold information. However, users assigned to this role cannot start or stop replication, configure replication, refresh tables, or view notifications sent by subscriptions and datastores.
