Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise Version 3.3.1 User's Guide

Manage OpenManage Enterprise users

NOTE: To perform any tasks on OpenManage Enterprise, you must have the 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).

By clicking OpenManage Enterprise > Application Settings > Users, you can:

  • View, add, enable, edit, or delete the OpenManage Enterprise users.

    NOTE: Any change to the user role will take effect immediately and the impacted user(s) will be logged out of their active session.

    NOTE: You cannot enable, disable, or delete the admin/system/root users. You can change the password by clicking Edit in the right pane.

  • View details about the logged-in users, and then end (terminate) a user session.
  • Manage Directory Services.
  • Import and manage users from Active Directory.
By default, the list of users is displayed under Users. The right pane displays the properties of a user name that you select in the working pane.
  • USERNAME: Along with the users you created, OpenManage Enterprise displays the following default user roles that cannot be edited or deleted: admin, system, and root. However, you can edit the login credentials by selecting the default username and clicking Edit. See Enable OpenManage Enterprise users. The recommended characters for user names are as follows:
