6.2 Using the Security Navigator

The Security Navigator is available only for user with SUPERVISOR privilege which is the account created during repository creation. Non supervisor accounts can only change their own password using Change Password menu option under OGG menu.

You can do the following tasks using the Security Navigator:

6.2.1 Adding a New User

To add a new user, do as follows:

  1. Click on the user button and select New User.
  2. Click on Change Password, type the New Password, type the same password in Confirm Password. You can also set the Allow Expiration Date to set a password expiration date (optional). If this is set, the user needs to change the password in the log in after the expiry date.
  3. Click the Save button in the toolbar.

The change password dialog looks like:

Note:

You can set the Allow Expiration Date under Account Expiration to prevent the user from using the product after the expiry date. This is different from the Allow Expiration Date under Change User Password dialog.
