HP Systems Insight Manager 7.2 Technical Reference Guide

Users tab
Administering users involves adding, editing, deleting, and reporting. After you have added a
user or user group, you can assign predefined authorizations from the Authorizations tab.
Users and user groups must exist in the operating system. For Microsof Windows ®, this includes
Active Directory. When a user group is configured in HP SIM, any user that is a member of the
user group in the operating system can sign-in to HP SIM without having to be configured as a
user in HP SIM. The user can subsequently create tasks and run tools based on the user group's
authorizations and configuration rights as configured in HP SIM.
The Users tab displays a table with the following information:
• User/User Group
This column includes all users and user groups. A user group appears in bold type, while
group-based user accounts (members of a configured user group) appear in italics.
• Configuration CMS Security
This column indicates if the user has been given the right to configure CMS security. This
option is set when you select or clear the User can configure CMS security access such as
creating, modifying or removing other users checkbox when creating or editing users. The
column displays either Yes or No.
• Pager Configured
This column indicates if the user has a pager configured (Yes or No.) and is blank for user
groups.
• IP Sign-In Restrictions
This column indicates if there are any IP restrictions applied to the user or user group.
• Full Name
This column displays the full name of the user or group if this information was entered during
the creation of the user or user group.
