Users Guide

NOTE: Before importing users from Active Directory, make sure you create a Directory Service.

Click Settings → Users in the left pane.

2. Click Import Active Directory Users.

3. Select a specific directory service from the Select Directory Service drop-down list, to import the

users from the selected directory service.

4. Select one or multiple users to be imported from the Directory Users List (displays the list of users

existing in the selected directory service), and click the forward arrow button, to add the selected

users to the

Selected Users List (displays the Name, First Name, Last Name and Role of the selected

users to be imported).

5. Select one or multiple users in the Selected Users List and click Apply to import the users.

NOTE: In the Selected Users List, each User Name is prefixed with a check-box. Selecting this

check-box will allow you to Select Role to change the role of the selected user(s), from the

Change Roles drop-down list that appears on the top right of the Selected Users List box. By

selecting this check box, you can also revert the users back to the Selected Directory Users List

box. However, the selection of these pre-fixed check-boxes in the Selected Users List does not

allow you to Apply only the selected users. On clicking Apply, all users get applied, irrespective

of check-box selection.

NOTE: An active directory user is authenticated against the specific active directory that a user

belongs to.

About Roles

The following user roles are available in ASM:

• Operator: An Operator can perform the following operations in ASM:

– Deploy a published service template on the discovered resources.

– Click the IP Address of the resources in the Resource tab to link and launch the resource remote

console.

– Run Inventory.

– Export Application Logs.

– Create Troubleshooting bundle.

– View recent activities

NOTE: The Operator in ASM can view all the information that an administrator can view.

However, the configuration operations for an Operator in ASM are restricted to the ones

mentioned here. For the operations that an Operator cannot perform in ASM, the software

restricts an Operator user from doing so by deactivating such operations.

• Admin: Privileged to perform all operations in ASM.

• Read Only: A user with a Read Only permission can view all ASM operations but cannot perform any

action on any ASM operations. When a user logs in as a Read Only user, ASM does not allow the user

to perform any operations by deactivating the functionality on the UI console.
