Assigning roles to a user

Last Updated : May 09, 2018 |

To provide access to resources, you must assign roles to users. Use this procedure to assign an admin role to an end user. You can assign up to 20 roles per user.

You can also assign roles to users by using the Roles page, on the System Manager web console.

During the tenant administration, the Membership tab is unavailable for the tenant administrator.

Procedure

  1. On the System Manager web console, click Users > User Management > Manage Users.
  2. On the Manage Users page, perform one of the following:
    • To assign roles while setting up a new user account, click New.

    • To assign roles to an existing user, select the user and click Edit or View > Edit.

  3. On the User Profile | Edit | <User Name> or User Profile | Add page, click the Membership tab.
  4. Click Assign Roles.
  5. In the Assign Roles section, select the roles.
  6. To assign the roles to the selected user, click Select.
  7. On the User Profile | Edit | <User Name> or User Profile | Add page, click Commit.
    Note:
    • For a new user, if you assign a role other than the End-User role, the system prompts for the password.

    • For an existing user, the system resets the password to match the login name of the user when you:

      • Change the login name.

      • Assign a role other than End-User role and you do not provide a new password.

      When the user logs in, the system prompts the user to change the password on the next login.
