Creating user accounts
This section explains how to create a user account and register the account to a user group with appropriate permissions.
Prerequisites
You must have the Security Administrator (View & Modify) role to perform this task.
You or an HDS-authorized technical support representative can log in to the Maintenance Utility and the CCI with user accounts that are created by Device Manager - Storage Navigator. Support representatives must have the Support Personnel (Vendor Only) role to log in.
The system can support a maximum of 20 user accounts, including the built-in user accounts.

When you use a Windows computer for the CCI, you can also specify a backslash (\). When you use a UNIX computer for CCI, you can also specify a slash (/).
To create a user account:
In the Administration tree, select User Groups.
In the User Groups tab, select a user group to which to add a user. This is dependent on which permissions you want to give to the user.
In the Roles tab, confirm that the displayed permissions are appropriate for the user.
Open the Create User window in one of the following ways:
In the User tab, click Create User.
From Settings, click User Management > Create User.
Enter a name.
Select Activate or Lock for the account. If you select Lock, the user of this account is disabled and cannot log in to Device Manager - Storage Navigator.
To use an authentication server, select External. To authenticate users with only Device Manager - Storage Navigator, select Local.
If you select Local, enter the password of this user account in two places.
For a password, all alphanumeric characters and symbols can be used. The length must be between 6 and 256.
Click Finish.
In the Confirm window, check the settings and enter a task name in Task Name.
Click Apply. The task is registered. If the Go to tasks window for status check box is checked, the Task window opens.
