Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise 3.9 User's Guide

Manage OpenManage Enterprise users

NOTE

To perform any tasks on OpenManage Enterprise, you must have the necessary user privileges. See Role and scope-based access control in OpenManage Enterprise.
A maximum of 64 user roles can be defined and assigned in the appliance.
Any change to the user role will not affect the active session of the impacted user(s) and will take effect from subsequent login.
If a Device Manager user is demoted to a Viewer, that DM will lose access to all the owned entities such as jobs, firmware or configuration templates and baselines, alert policies, and profiles. These entities can be managed only by the administrator and can't be restored even when the same user is 'promoted' from a Viewer to DM.

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

View, add, enable, edit, disable, or delete the OpenManage Enterprise local users. For more information, see Add and edit OpenManage Enterprise local users
Assign OpenManage Enterprise roles to Active Directory users by importing the directory groups. AD and LDAP directory users can assigned an Admin, or a Device Manager, or a Viewer role in OpenManage Enterprise. For more information, see Import AD and LDAP groups
View details about the logged-in users, and then end (terminate) a user session.
Manage Directory Services. For more information, see Add or edit Active Directory groups to be used with Directory Services
View, add, enable, edit, disable, or delete OpenID connect providers (PingFederate and/or Key Cloak). For more information, see OpenManage Enterprise login using OpenID Connect providers
