Create and Delete User Accounts Using the Security Wizard

For more information about User Accounts, see About User Accounts.

Tip NNMi administrators can also use the User Accounts view or command line to complete this task. See Configure User Accounts (User Account Form) or nnmsecurity.ovpl.

ClosedTo create a User Account:
  1. From the Security Wizard main page, select the Map User Accounts and User Groups option.
  2. Navigate to the User Accounts table.
  3. Click  New.

  4. In the Create User Account dialog box, enter the following:

    1. Username: Enter the user name to be assigned to this user:

      Type up to 40 alpha-numeric characters. Other valid characters include periods (.), underscores (_), the @ symbol, and hyphens (-).

      Tip Although additional characters and spaces are valid, not all systems accept such values. As a best practice, avoid including spaces and other punctuation in user names.

    2. Password: Enter the Password value.

      Type any amount of printable alpha-numeric characters or symbols.

      Note The Security Wizard is unable to create accounts for use with LDAP or PKI user authentication. These accounts may be created using the User Accounts Form or the nnmsecurity.ovpl command. See Configure User Accounts (User Account Form).

    3. Click Add.
    4. Repeat to add each User Account.
    5. When you finish adding User Accounts in the Create User Account dialog box, click Close.
  5. When you finish your security configuration, click Save and Close to save your security configuration.

To modify a User Account: see Change Password, Name.

ClosedTo delete a User Account:
  1. Select a row in the User Accounts table.

  2. Click  Delete.

  3. When you finish, click the Save and Close button to save your security configuration.

    Caution If you remove the User Account for a user who is currently signed into the NNMi console, the change does not take effect until the next time the user signs in. By default, the NNMi timeout limit is 18 hours. If a user has not signed out within 18 hours, NNMi forces the user to sign out. To change the Console Timeout value, see Configure the NNMi User Interface 

    Access the Incident Browsing workspace. Open the All Incidents view. Sort this view using the Assigned To (AT) column. Reassign all Incidents associated with any user you deleted (see Assign an Incident).

NNMi User Accounts can be assigned to one or more User Groups. You must assign each User Account to one of the following NNMi User Groups so users can access the NNMi console:

    • NNMi Administrators
    • NNMi Level 2 Operators
    • NNMi Level 1 Operators (with more limited access privileges than Level 2 Operators)
    • NNMi Guest Users

See Assign User Accounts to User Groups Using the Security Wizard Page for more information.
