Chapter 6 Administering and maintaining the K2 system
Mapping a NetCentral administrator to the K2 administrator level
The following procedure uses K2Admin as an example of a user name. You may want
to modify the administrator accounts to bring them in line with your site’s security
policies.
A user who belongs to a group has all the rights and permissions granted to that group.
To be able to use NetCentral and K2, you need to create a local K2Admin user account
and add it to the NCAdministrator group on the NetCentral Server PC. (This could
also be the Control Point PC.)
1. Create the user named K2Admin:
a. Open Computer Management.
b. In the console tree, right-click on the Users folder.
c. Select New User.
d. In the New User dialog box, enter the user name K2Admin and the password
K2admin .
e. Select or clear the check boxes, as desired, for:
- User must change password at next logon
- User cannot change password
- Password never expires
- Account is disabled
f. Click Create, and then click Close.
2. Add the NCAdministrator group to the K2Admin user:
a. Open Computer Management.
b. In the console tree, click Users.
c. Right-click the K2Admin user and select Properties.
d. Select the Member Of tab and click Add.
