User Access
Adding Users
The CDS provides one built-in user, “admin,” that has master level access and cannot be deleted. The
master user can add additional users with different levels of access.
To add a user, do the following:
Step 1 Choose Maintain > Users > Add User. The Add User page is displayed.
Step 2 Fill in the fields as described in Table 7-2.
Step 3 Click Add User to add this user.
To clear the fields and start over, click Reset.
Add User—Force Password Change
When a new user is added, the Force Password Change attribute for the user is checked. When the user
logs in to the CDSM for the first time, the Edit User page is displayed and the user is forced to change
the password.
Note When changing the password, browser-saved passwords may be requested to be changed.
During a password change, the new password is validated for complexity based on the Password
Complexity Rules set on the System Authentication page. The password complexity check can be
overridden if the change password is performed by a user with Master-level access and the Override
Password Check check box is checked. The Override Password Check check box is available on the
Add Users page and the Edit Users page if the user has Master-level access.
