three of the following categories: uppercase, lowercase, numeric, and nonalphanumeric.

For a Windows installation:
• Windows Local Account — Enter a unique User Name for the account.
NOTE: If Power Center is installed on a Windows 2012 Essential server and the server is
configured as a Domain controller, all user accounts on the server must be Windows
Domain Accounts, and not Windows Local Accounts.
• Windows Domain Account
– Enter a unique User Name for the account.
– Enter a valid Windows Domain Name.
For a Linux installation:
• Linux Local Account — Enter a unique User Name for the account.
NOTE: While Linux Local Accounts can be changed from the Linux server, these changes
are not mirrored in the same local account that was added to Power Center, and Power
Center authentication attempts on this account fails. To keep the Linux Local Account in
sync between Power Center and the Linux server when the local account is changed from
Linux, the original account must be deleted from Power Center and the changed account
must be created in Power Center as a new Linux Local Account.
• LDAP Account — Enter a unique User Name for the account.
NOTE: A user description is useful when there are two users with the same user name. Two
user accounts with the same user name are only possible where the user types are different.
5. Enter a description of this user account (optional) in the Description text box.
6. From the Roles drop-down list, select the user and group roles. If the role you want is not available in
the drop-down list, click Create New to open the Add Role wizard. For more information, see Dell
OpenManage Power Center User’s Guide.
7. Click Save to add the user account, or click Cancel to discard your changes.
