Introducing the User Manager GUI

The User Manager GUI is based on the Visual Panels framework and is provided as a Visual Panels interface. User authentication and role assumption is provided by the Visual Panels framework itself and is available to all of the panels, including the User Manager GUI. The User Manager GUI replaces the Solaris Management Console's legacy User and Roles tool. Although not identical to the Solaris Management Console, the GUI has some of the same functionality.


Note -  The Solaris Management Console is not supported in this release.

The User Manager GUI presents a simple, clear interface that is easy to use. To minimize the possibility of errors, the GUI presents only those choices that are valid based on the authorizations and rights profiles of the authenticated user or role.

The User Manager GUI is delivered by the pkg:/system/management/visual-panels/panel-usermgr IPS package.
