After you create a user, you must manually modify the user
settings if additional permissions are required. You can also use
these steps to modify a user if the information has changed.
Before you begin
You must be assigned the Appliance administration permission
to perform these steps.
About this task
When you create a user, the user has the default permissions.
If the user account needs additional permissions, then you must add
these permissions manually after the initial user creation. If a user
account was created using the self-registration function, then only
a subset of the user information is available. The remaining information
needs to be added by a user that is assigned the appliance administration
permission. Use the following steps to modify a user using the
WebSphere® DataPower® XC10 Appliance user interface.
Procedure
- Navigate to the Users panel.
- From the menu bar at the top of the WebSphere DataPower XC10 Appliance user
interface, navigate to .
- From theHome panel, click the Create
users link in the Step 1: Set up the appliance section.
- Click the User name for
the user you intend to modify. The display name and the
user name cannot be modified after the user has been created.
- You can edit the password and email address for the user.
To change the password, click [edit] for the
field. Enter a new password to change the password.
- View the user activity. The following user activity
can be viewed from the user account screen:
- Modify the permissions for this user. You can
select or clear these permissions to control the level of access that
a user is assigned. User permissions cannot be modified if a user
is a member of a group, not including the Everyone group. If a user
is a member of a group, then the user has the permissions defined
by that group. If a user is a member of multiple groups, then the
user has the sum of the permissions defined by these groups. When
you change the permissions defined for the group, the changes are
propagated to all the members of the group. The following permissions
are available for each user.
- Appliance administration
- Appliance monitoring
- Data grid creation
For
more information about these permission settings, see User permissions.
Results
You have successfully modified a user account.
What to do next
After you have modified the user, you can add the user to
a user group. See
Creating a user group and
Managing user groups for information
about creating a user group and adding users to user groups. You can
add a layer of security to your appliance by using a Lightweight Directory
Access Protocol (LDAP) server for authentication. For more information
about securing your appliance with an LDAP server, see
Configuring IBM WebSphere DataPower XC10 Appliance user interface security.
