Administering

users

involves adding, editing, deleting, and reporting. After you have added a user or user

group, you can assign predefined authorizations from the Authorizations tab.

Users and user groups must exist in the operating system. For Windows, this includes Active Directory. When
a user group is configured in HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM), any user that is a member of the user
group in the operating system can sign in to HP SIM, which means they do not have to be configured as a
user in HP SIM. The user can subsequently create tasks and run tools based on the user group's authorizations
and configuration rights as configured in HP SIM.

The Users tab displays a table that includes the following information:

User/User Group

This column includes all users and user groups. A user group is indicated by a

bold font while group-based user accounts (member of a configured user group) are indicated by an
italicized font.

Configuration Rights

This column displays what type of configuration rights the user or user group

has (full, limited, or none).
