Adding A User Account

1. Click Settings → User and Group Accounts in the left pane.

NOTE: If OpenManage Power Center is installed on a Windows Active Domain Controller server, every user

account added on this server should be a Windows Domain Account.

2. In the User and Group Accounts section, click Add and select User.

The Add User window opens.

3. Select a User Type and enter the required credentials:

For a Windows installation:

– OMPC Account—Create a unique User Name, then enter a password that is at least 8 characters long and

includes characters from at least three of the following categories: uppercase, lowercase, numeric, non-

alphanumeric.

– Windows Local Account—Enter a valid User Name for the Windows 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 should be Windows Domain Accounts, not

Windows Local Accounts.

– Windows Domain Account—Enter a valid User Name for the Windows domain account, then enter a valid

Windows Domain Name.

For a Linux installation:

– OMPC Account—Create a unique User Name, then enter a password that is at least 8 characters long and

includes characters from at least three of the following categories: uppercase, lowercase, numeric, non-

alphanumeric.

– Linux Local Account—Enter a valid User Name for the Linux account.

NOTE: While Linux Local Accounts can be changed from the Linux server, these changes will not be

mirrored in the same local account that was added to Power Center, and Power Center authentication

attempts on this account will fail. 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 valid User Name for the LDAP account.

4. Select between one and four User and Group Roles.
