Add and edit OpenManage Enterprise users
NOTE:
To perform any tasks on OpenManage Enterprise, you must have necessary user privileges. See Role-based
OpenManage Enterprise user privileges on page 14.
NOTE: AD and LDAP directory users can be imported and assigned one of the OpenManage Enterprise roles (Admin,
DeviceManager, or Viewer). The Single-Sign-On (SSO) feature stops at login to the console. Actions run on the devices
require a privileged account on the device.
This procedure is specific to only adding and editing the local users. While editing local users, you can edit all the user properties.
However, for directory users, only the role and device groups (in the case of a Device Manager) can be edited. For adding
Directory users, see Add or edit Active Directory groups to be used with Directory Services on page 137.
1. Select Application Settings > Users > Add.
2. In the Add New User dialog box:
a. Enter the user credentials.
The username must contain only alphanumeric characters (but underscore is allowed) and the password must contain at
least one character in: uppercase, lowercase, digit, and special character.
b. From the User Role drop-down menu, select a role:
● Administrator
● Device Manager
● Viewer
