Users Guide

NOTE: While importing Active Directory users, ASM roles are not automatically mapped to
Active Directory user roles. Therefore, it is important to assign an appropriate role level to each
imported user.
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
Every ASM user account can be assigned to any one of the following roles:
• Administrator — Users with Administrator role has the privilege to view all the pages and to perform all
operations in ASM and grant permission to Standard user to perform certain operations.
• Standard — Users with Standard role can view certain pages and perform certain operations based on
the permission granted by Administrator. Additionally, Standard users can grant permission to other
user to view and perform certain operation that they own.
• Read Only — Users with Read Only role can view all ASM operations but not allowed to perform any
operation. 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.
The following table describes the privileges or permissions associated with the roles:
