Grant Users HP SAM Administrator Access
The Domain Administrator and Domain Users in the HP SAM server local Administrators Group are
automatically members of the HP SAM Administrator Group. HP highly recommends that you update
the system by adding security groups or individual names to the HP SAM Administrator access list,
instead of using the Administrator account to log in. This helps track who did what and when.
To add other users as HP SAM administrators, go to the HP SAM administrator console and add these
users to the Administrator role. See
Users and Roles Tab on page 30 for detailed instructions.
