Use the Add User and Edit User dialog to create a new user account or to edit existing user accounts.
When creating or editing a user account you can:
You must have the Manage Users right to add or edit a user account.
Note: You do not need to add users that will be authenticating through an Active Directory server. When a user logs in to WhatsUp Gold using their Windows domain credentials for the first time, a user account is created for that user. They are added to the group that was mapped to the AD group of which the user account is a member.
Important: As new Active Directory users are automatically provisioned using LDAP, the Home Device Group setting for the Web Group mapped to the user's Active Directory group at the time of provisioning is set as the initial Home Device Group for the new user. The Home Device Group for the user is now maintained independently from the Home Device Group settings of any Web Groups to which the user is assigned.
To create or edit a user account:
Note: When you select LDAP, the Internal password and Confirm password boxes are deactivated.
Note: When a user is being edited that has authenticated through an Active Directory server, the Authentication type for that user will appear as Active Directory.
Note: When you add a user account to a group it will inherit all of the rights assigned to that group.
Tip: Select Show rights inherited from group membership + user rights to show the user rights the user will inherit from membership in the groups selected in the Member of box. The first column of check boxes in the User Rights list indicate the user rights acquired through group membership.
Tip: You can click Check all to select all of the available user rights.
Note: If you grant the Manage Users right, the user account will acquire all user rights.
