Step 6 Click Submit to save your settings.
Assigning a Role to a User Account
After you create a role, you need to assign the role to an account (or a user group). If you create an
account but do not assign a role to the account, that account can log into the WAAS Central Manager
GUI but no data will be displayed and the configuration pages will not be available.
Note The admin user account, by default, is assigned to the role that allows access to all entities in the system.
It is not possible to change the role for this user account.
To assign one or more roles to a user account group, follow these steps:
Step 1 From the WAAS Central Manager menu, choose Admin > AAA > Users (or Admin > AAA > User
Groups).
The User Accounts (or User Groups) window appears with all configured user accounts listed.
Step 2 Click the Edit icon next to the user account or group for which you want to assign roles.
The Modifying User Account (or Modifying User Group) window appears.
Step 3 Click the Role Management tab.
The Role Management window appears with all configured role names listed.
Step 4 Click the Assign icon (blue cross mark) that appears next to the role name that you want to assign to the
selected user account or group.
Step 5 Click the Unassign (green tick mark) next to the role name to unassign a previously assigned role.
Note Click the Assign all Roles icon in the taskbar to assign all roles in the current window to a user
account or group. Alternatively, click the Remove all Roles icon to unassign all roles associated
with a user account or group.
Step 6 Click Submit.
