Administration and Configuration Guide
Roles are assigned to a user through groups: when a user belongs to a group, the roles
that are assigned to that group are also assigned to the user. A user can belong to one or
more groups. For more information about groups, see “Managing Roles” on page 127.
If you belong to a group that includes the Security role, the Manage Users dashboard
allows you to manage user accounts, add users to groups, and manage user passwords.
For more information on how to use the Manage Users dashboard, see the following
sections:
•“Accessing the Manage Users Dashboard” on page 108
•“Creating Users” on page 111
•“Adding Users to Groups” on page 112
•“Changing Passwords” on page 114
•“Forcing Password Changes” on page 115
•“Unlocking Passwords” on page 115
•“Deleting Internal Users” on page 117
Accessing the Manage Users Dashboard
The Manage Users dashboard contains a table that lists all of the users that have been
created in the Administration Module or imported from an LDAP-compatible directory
service supported by vFoglight, the groups to which these users belong, and the roles
that are available to them. This dashboard also includes controls for managing user
settings, creating new users, deleting non-default users, filtering the list of users, forcing
a password change for new users, and unlocking a user who has been locked out after a
pre-defined number of bad login attempts.
Note Roles are not assigned directly to users. Instead, they are made available to users through
the groups to which they belong. See “Managing Groups” on page 118 for complete
information assigning roles and adding users to groups.
To access the Manage Users dashboard:
Note This procedure continues from “Getting Started with the Administration Module” on page 32.
