Introduction to User Security

This section provides information about how to set up and manage user security for the N1 System Manager.

The N1 System Manager provides a user account system that allows users to have role-based access to its main features (commands and browser interface areas) through a predefined, fixed set of privileges. A privilege is a predefined set of permissions enabling a user to perform operations within the N1 System Manager, such as installing OS distributions or deleting jobs. A role is a set of privileges to which a user has access. The N1 System Manager provides five system default roles, but customized roles can be created depending on your needs.
