Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise Version 3.0 User's Guide

Add and edit OpenManage Enterprise users

NOTE: To perform any tasks on OpenManage Enterprise, you must have necessary user privileges. See Role-based OpenManage Enterprise user privileges.

NOTE: AD and LDAP directory users can be imported and assigned one of the OpenManage Enterprise roles (Admin, DeviceManager, or Viewer). The Single-Sign-On (SSO) feature stops at login to the console. Actions run on the devices require a privileged account on the device.

This procedure is specific to only adding and editing the local users. While editing local users, you can edit all the user properties. However, for directory users, only the role and device groups (in the case of a Device Manager) can be edited. For adding Directory users, see Add or edit Active Directory groups to be used with Directory Services.
  1. Click Users > Add.
  2. In the Add New User dialog box:
    1. Enter the user credentials.
      The username must contain only alphanumeric characters (but underscore is allowed) and the password must contain at least one character in: uppercase, lowercase, digit, and special character.
    2. From the User Role drop-down menu, select a role:
      • Administrator: Has unlimited access to configure and manage all devices and device groups managed by OpenManage Enterprise. Grants access to Device Manager to manage device groups.
      • Device Manager: Manages OpenManage Enterprise and designated devices and groups. Administrator must assign groups before they can be managed by the Device Manager. For more information, see Role-based OpenManage Enterprise user privileges. Any number of groups can be assigned to a DM. When selected, the Select Groups link is displayed. Select the device group that the new user must manage. For information about selecting groups, see Select device groups for Group Manager.
      • Viewer: Can only view info about all the groups and devices. However, role permissions restrict the tasks a user perform on the devices.

      By default, the Enabled check box is selected to indicate that the user privileges currently being set up are enabled for a user.

  3. Click Finish.
    A message is displayed that the user is successfully saved. A job is started to create a new user. After running the job, the new user is created and displayed in the list of users.
