Creating Users and Assigning to Groups

Before adding a user, determine which user group the user must be assigned based on the user’s operational role. The group assignment determines the functions a user can access. A user must either have user or group administrative privileges to view or make changes to the user accounts or groups. The admin user can set up or change user accounts and groups, enable or disable user accounts, set password expiration intervals, and change the user passwords.

The Insert User page displays the following elements:

  • User Name
  • Group
  • Authentication Options
  • Access Allowed
  • Maximum Concurrent Logins
  • Session Inactivity Limit
  • Comment

For more information, see the Administration chapter in the Operation, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) Guide.

The User Administration page allows the admin user to perform the following actions:

  • Add a New User
  • View User Account Information
  • Update User Account Information
  • Delete a User
  • Enable or Disable a User Account
  • Change a User’s Assigned Group
  • Generate a User Report
  • Change Password
