3. Configure the profile settings as appropriate:
a. Click the Username field and enter a username of at least three characters.
b. Click the Password field and enter a password between 6 and 25 alphanumeric characters, including
spaces.
c. Click the First Name field and enter a first name.
d. Click the Last Name field and enter a last name.
e. Click the Role field and select User or Administrator, as appropriate. An administrator role has
full access to the inventory functionality.
f. Click the Email field and enter an e-mail address.
g. Optional. Click the Company and Department fields and enter that information, as appropriate.
h. Click the Time Zone field and select a time zone from the range of time zones provided. All Active
System Manager application timestamp data will reflect this preferred time zone as defined in the
user profile—not the time zone that is defined in the user’s desktop.
Note When changing the time zone, you should reconnect to the server to enforce the new time zone in
all displays (view, editors, and so on).
i. Scheduling Priority. The Scheduler uses this value to identify who has precedence in allocating
resources among all users and groups. The values range from 1 to 5, where the highest priority is 1
and the lowest priority is 5 (the default is 3). Users with a lower priority may see their sessions
rescheduled based on overall system allocations. Only administrators can change this value.
j. Optional. Click the Specify maximum session duration constraint check box to set limits on the
number of active sessions a user can run (in duration in day, hours, and minutes).
Note The user time zone will be reflected in the application status bar. Once the time zone is updated, you
must reconnect to the server for the time zone to take effect. You can also change your time zone
via Tools > Users and Groups. Select the user and click Edit to change the time zone. You must
restart the application for the new time zone to take effect.
4. Click the Membership tab and select the groups to include as members of your new group. You can
click the check box next to each group to include individually, or to select all groups, click Select All;
see Figure 4-3. Alternatively, to remove user membership in all groups, click Deselect All. To remove
membership from a selected group, de-select the check box next to each selected group.
