8.3.4.3 Creating a Cisco MGM User
Use the Create New MGM User wizard to add new Cisco MGM users to the domain. Table 8-10
describes the fields in the wizard.
Step 1 In the Domain Explorer window, choose Administration > Cisco MGM Users.
Step 2 In the MGM Users table, choose Edit > Create (or click the Create a New User tool).
Step 3 In the Create New MGM User wizard, enter the following information:
• Username
• User password (and confirm password)
• User privilege
• Domain name
• Login state
• Password change
• Description
• Use Global Settings check box
• Enable check box
• Period
• User login sessions
Step 4 Click Next. When you finish adding a new SuperUser, NetworkAdmin, or SysAdmin, click Finish.
Step 5 When adding a new Provisioner, Operator, or custom user profile, select the groups and NEs that the
Provisioner or Operator will monitor. Selected groups and NEs appear in the Assigned Objects list.
(SuperUsers and NetworkAdmins monitor the entire management domain, so there is no need to select
groups or NEs when adding one of these users. SysAdmin users do not access any of the NEs.)
a. To assign groups, click the Groups radio button. In the Available Objects list, select the groups that
will be assigned to the new user and click Add.
b. To assign NEs, click the Network Elements radio button. In the Available Objects list, select the
NEs that will be assigned to the new user and click Add.
Note When individual NEs are assigned, these NEs will appear directly under the top level domain
for the user in the Domain Explorer. It is possible that a given NE may have already been
assigned as part of a group assignment to the user. In such a case, the same NE will appear
directly under the top level domain and also within the assigned group. This behavior is
consistent with the Domain Explorer’s ability to represent the same group or NE within
multiple locations of the hierarchy.
Description Description of the user.
Password Change Current state (Enabled or Disabled) of the password change option.
Multiple Login Whether this user is allowed to perform multiple logins simultaneously.
