OpenManage Enterprise 4.0.x User's Guide

Manage users, roles, and scopes

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

By clicking Application Settings > Users, you can:

View, add, enable, edit, disable, or delete the OpenManage Enterprise local users, as described in Add or edit local users.
Assign OpenManage Enterprise roles to directory services-based users by importing directory groups. AD and LDAP directory users can be assigned an Admin, Device Manager, or Viewer role in OpenManage Enterprise. For more information, see Import Active Directory and LDAP groups.
View details about the logged-in users.
Terminate a user session.
Manage Directory Services, as described in Add or edit the Active Directory connection.
View, add, enable, edit, disable, or delete OpenID connect providers. For more information, see Login using OIDC providers.

NOTE:

Ensure you are logged into OpenManage Enterprise as an Administrator, as described in User roles.
A maximum of 1000 user accounts can exist in an appliance.
Any change to a user role does not affect the active session of the impacted users and takes effect from subsequent login.
If a Device Manager (DM) is demoted to a Viewer, that DM loses access to all entities that the DM owned originally. Possible entities include jobs, firmware, or configuration templates and baselines, alert policies, and profiles. Only administrators can manage these entities. Management rights are not restored to user accounts that have been promoted from 'Viewer' to 'Device Manager'.

By default, the list of users is displayed under Users. The right pane displays the properties of a username 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 as described in Enable OpenManage Enterprise users.
