Managing user accounts
The administrator can add and manage local user accounts, which are authenticated by IBM Spectrum® Discover. The administrator can also assign local or LDAP and IBM Cloud® Object Storage-managed users to roles and collections.
Use the Users tab on the Access page to view information about user accounts that are authenticated by the local domain or either an LDAP or IBM Cloud Object Storage server. You can also use the tab to create, edit, or delete local users. You cannot create or delete either LDAP or IBM Cloud Object Storage user accounts, but you can assign these users to roles and collections.
