Deactivating Users
To deactivate a user, perform the following steps:
1. On the Active System Manager menu bar, click Tools > Users and Groups.
The Security Management window displays with the Users tab open by default; see Figure 4-1 on
page 4-2.
2. Select one or more users in the table.
3. Click Deactivate > OK to confirm the deactivation operation.
Deactivated users will not be allowed to log on, even if the permission to log on to their profile is set.
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).
Publishing Login Profiles
The Active System Manager product allows you to create a login profile and assign them to users or groups.
A login profile is a collection of perspectives that have been customized and published to users and groups.
By default, there is a login profile already deployed with the Active System Manager product. The default
user interface profile is composed of the following perspectives: Test, Session, Provisioning, Inventory, and
Template. This login profile is known as “Default”.
To publish new login profiles, you must perform the following tasks:
• Customizing Targeted Environment
• Saving Your Environment as a Login Profile
• Associating Login Profiles with Users and Groups
• Deleting Login Profiles
Customizing Targeted Environment
To define a new login profile, you first must rearrange your environment by creating and customizing:
perspectives, views displayed (and accessible on each perspective), menu bar items, shortcut views, and
toolbar items. The way you set up your own environment (perspectives and views) is how you define your
perspectives and views for your end users. There is no other tool within the application to define your
environment.
To learn how to customize a perspective, see the “Customizing Perspectives” section on page 1-8.
