Setup Procedure

Setting up PAP Unit Users

The Customer Administrator should now set up at least one Customer Administrator and one

Customer Operator user account to ensure controlled access to the PAP unit.

The Microsoft Windows operating system pre-installed on the PAP unit provides standard

security features for controlling access to applications and resources. PAM software security

is based on Windows user management and you are advised to give Windows

administrator rights to at least one member of the PAP Customer Administrator user group.

For further details about user management, refer to the Microsoft Windows documentation on

the Bull NovaScale Server System Resource CD.

Note:

You are advised to change the temporary Administrator password (administrator) used for

setup purposes and to maintain a detailed record of authorized users.

Predefined PAP User Groups

For optimum security and flexibility, the Microsoft Windows software environment is delivered

with two predefined Customer user groups:

Pap_Customer_Administrators Group (CA)

This group is designed for customer representatives responsible for the overall management,

configuration, and operation of the system. Members of the Customer Administrator group

are allowed to configure and administrate the server and have full access to the PAM

Domain Manager, Hardware Monitor, History Manager and Configuration Tasks menus, as

shown in Table 4.

Pap_Customer_Operators (CO)

This group is designed for customer representatives responsible for the daily operation of the

system. Members of the Customer Operator group are allowed to operate the server and

have partial access to the Domain Manager and History Manager menus, as shown in Table

Notes:

• Group membership also conditions which Event Messages a user will receive via the PAM

Web interface. See Setting up Event Subscriptions, in the User's Guide.

• The predefined Customer user groups have been designed to suit the needs of most

Administrator and Operators. Contact your Customer Service Engineer if you require a

customized user group.

Warning:

The two predefined Support user groups:

- Pap_Support_Administrators

- Pap_Support_Operators

are reserved EXCLUSIVELY for authorized Customer Service Engineers in charge of

monitoring, servicing, and upgrading the system.
