A Linux user or an Enterprise Directory User can access the AE Services Management Console. See Account Management - Linux user accounts.

To acquire the administrative role for User Management the user must have an administered account in the local LDAP data store with the Avaya role set to userservice.useradmin. (To set up the userservice.user administrative role, see Creating a new User Management administrator account and removing the default avaya account from User Management).

This chapter describes the capabilities provided by User Management. User Management refers to the local LDAP database on the AE Server. In the context of this chapter, local means located on the AE Services server.

AE Services users are authenticated by AE Services User Management (as opposed to Linux). AE Services users, as such, cannot log in to Linux. and they have limited access privileges in the AE Services Management Console.
