The following sections describe how to manage the ACE appliance using ACE Appliance Device
Manager:
• Overview of the Admin Functions, page 15-1
• Controlling Access to the Cisco ACE Appliance, page 15-3
• Managing Users, page 15-7
• Managing User Roles, page 15-14

For details on logging into ACE Appliance Device Manager, see Logging into ACE Appliance Device
Manager, page 1-4.
Note When you use the ACE CLI to configure named objects (such as a real server, virtual server, parameter
map, class map, health probe, and so on), consider that the Device Manager (DM) supports object names
with an alphanumeric string of 1 to 64 characters, which can include the following special characters:
underscore (_), hyphen (-), dot (.), and asterisk (*). Spaces are not allowed.
If you use the ACE CLI to configure a named object with special characters that the DM does not
support, you may not be able to configure the ACE using DM.
Overview of the Admin Functions
Use the Admin tab to manage role-based access control, set up and view statistical data for the ACE
appliance, and use troubleshooting tools for the ACE Appliance Device Manager.
Note Some of the Admin options might not be visible to some users; the roles assigned to your login determine
which options are available.
