Adding Users

This section contains procedures for adding users and authorizing privileges. Only users belonging to the Domain Administrator role can add or modify users.

Keep in mind the following:

•On Linux systems — The user name and password cannot exceed 256 characters.

To create an account:

1.In HP SIM, click Options > Security > Users and Authorizations.

2.Click the User tab.

3.Click New.

4.Enter the following information:

•Enter a user name in the Login name box. The account must be valid on the operating system (includes Active Directory on Windows) on the central management server (CMS).

•If you are running the management server on Microsoft Windows, enter the domain name of the server running Storage Essentials in the Domain box.

You do not need to provide additional information. For more information about the other options displayed on this page, access the documentation accompanying HP SIM.
