Create a user with local authentication

You can add a user authorized to access all resources managed by the appliance (full access user) or a user who has access based on their job responsibilities (role-based specialist). For each of these users, authentication is confirmed by comparing the user login information to an authentication directory hosted locally on the appliance.

The default administrator login for the appliance is automatically assigned with full access (Infrastructure administrator) privileges.

Prerequisites

Minimum required session ID privileges: Infrastructure administrator
You must have the following information:
- User's unique identifier name
- Initial password
- User's full name
- Optional: Contact information for the user
