6. If you want to assign the user to an Administrator group, select the group from the Administrator
Group list.

Assign Resources
This option allows you to assign a specific resource (such as a blade PC) to a user and to configure the
monitor layout for a user. You can also assign a backup to a dedicated resource, as well as assign a
user-friendly name to the resource.
NOTE: If a blade is in a dynamic role and is reassigned as a dedicated resource to a user, that blade
is no longer available for allocation in the dynamic role to any other user, even if the current status is
Available. It is highly recommended that dedicated resources not be assigned to a dynamic resource
role, which will then help you accurately track Available and In Use resources.
To Assign Resources
1. Select the check box next to the appropriate name.
2. From the Operation list, select Assign Resources, and then click the Go button to open the
resource assignments window, which shows the resources assigned to the selected user.
3. If you want to assign a dedicated resource to the user:
a. Click Add.
b. Type the IP address or host name of the resource.
c. Click Search to search for resource to assign.
d. Select the resource from the list.
e. Click Save to change the resource assignment.
f. Repeat b–e for each additional resource to be assigned to the user.
4. If you want to change the friendly name for the resource, click the link in the Friendly Name column,
and then type a new friendly name for the resource in the Update Friendly Name window.
The default friendly name is the user's UPN plus the resource host name.
5. If you want to assign a backup for the dedicated resource, in the Backup column, click either
Role or Resource for the user.
a. To change a role, select a role to assign as a backup for the user, and then click Save.
b. To change a resource, type the IP address or host name of the backup resource, and then
click Search.
