24 OMNM 6.5.3 User Guide
Users perform tasks using the portal. Administrators can create new users or deactivate existing
users. You can organize users in a hierarchy of organizations and delegate administrative rights.
After creating them, add Users to roles which configure their permissions for access and action with
the
Actions menu to the right of a listed user, or during user creation.
NOTE:
Best practice is to spend some time designing your system’s security before creating users,
organizations and roles.
By default, every new user has the Power User and User roles. To assign a new user to specific
permissions only, remove all rights on these roles, or confine their permissions to those that are
universal first. You can remove users from Power User, but not from User.
When signed in, you can edit your user information by clicking the link with your username in the
top right corner of the screen.
User/Power User Roles
This role’s description is Portal Role: Portal users with view access. To turn off most permissions
from the User Role, go to Redcell > Permission Manager and edit the User role. The
Advanced
button opens a screen where you can select/de-select permissions in larger groups. Power User is
Portal users with extended privileges, and Administrator is Portal users with system privileges.
Default User Roles — Power User
To make new users not assigned as Power Users by default, go to the Portal > Portal Settings >
Users > Default Associations Tab and remove the roles you do not want assigned by default. Notice
that you can assign/unassign to existing users in this tab too. The role User appears in this default
list, but removal does not have an impact. OpenManage Network Manager automatically assigns all
users to the User role, so you must modify it as a universal minimum of permissions.
Multitenancy and Roles
For a new user that is part of Customer Turnup, OpenManage Network Manager always assigns the
Power User role, regardless of defaults, since it is a Site Contact.
Public/Private Page Behavior
Despite the small Public/Private label next to the My Private/My Public pages listed in the Go To
menu, both types of pages appear only for the user(s) who created them. Page Standard settings are
Max Items , Default Filter , Max Items per Page , and Column Configuration . These persist for
